Michael Carrick has addressed the recent underperformance of Manchester United, suggesting that the accountability for the team's struggles lies with both the players and the staff. In his post-match comments, Carrick admitted that the team was unable to find a rhythm, noting that they were "off it" both with and without the ball.

While Carrick’s assessment was direct, it remained limited in scope regarding the specific tactical or psychological reasons behind the team's inability to compete. The commentary highlights a growing concern regarding the squad's consistency and tactical execution during this period. By emphasizing that the burden must be shared, Carrick appears to be deflecting sole blame from the coaching staff while simultaneously challenging the players to improve their individual and collective output on the pitch. The situation remains a point of scrutiny for fans and analysts alike, as the team continues to search for a solution to their current form.
