Manager Michael Carrick says he does not need job reassurance despite Manchester United's poor start to the season and mounting injury concerns.
Manchester United manager Michael Carrick says he feels no need for reassurance from club leaders. He understands that only winning matches will end rumors about his job security.
Meanwhile, the team faces a very difficult start to the season. They have only won two of their ten total games so far.
This performance marks the club's worst start in the English top division in four decades. The team also exited the League Cup after losing to Brighton.
Additionally, Atletico Madrid defeated Manchester United in a recent Champions League match. These poor results have put significant pressure on the manager.
The club appointed Carrick as the permanent manager last May. He earned the position after a strong run as the interim coach.
However, the team has struggled since the retirement of Alex Ferguson in 2013. Carrick admits that he fully understands the demands of his current role.
Next, the team must prepare for a tough Champions League game against Como. Carrick insists he does not need others to tell him when the team needs improvement.
Also, injuries are causing major problems for the squad. Many key players are currently unable to play in upcoming matches.
For instance, Lisandro Martinez recently left a game at halftime due to injury. He will not travel to Italy for the next match.
Finally, several other stars will also miss the trip to Como. This list includes Luke Shaw, Marcus Rashford, and Kobbie Mainoo. Other sidelined players are Benjamin Sesko, Patrick Dorgu, and Ayden Heaven.
