Summary

Michael Carrick has firmly stated that he is not contemplating his future following Manchester United’s disappointing 4-1 defeat to Como in the Champions League, a result that deepened the club's winless streak to seven matches.

In a press conference reflecting on the match, Carrick emphasized that his focus remains on the supporters and the team, dismissing speculation about his job security. "I’ve not given my position any thought," he remarked. "It’s [about] the supporters, I was one of them, and I didn’t like what I saw."

In an interview with TNT Sports, Carrick reiterated that it is not about him receiving backing from the club, but rather about the collective effort required to turn the team's fortunes around. He took "100 per cent responsibility" for the team's poor performance and expressed his frustration, apologizing to the traveling supporters for the dismal outcome.

I'm really angry but you've got to move on and deal with what's next,

Carrick also addressed Bruno Fernandes’ criticisms regarding his tactics, particularly the team's lack of pressing that allowed Como too much space. "Whatever tactics you play, if you don't run back, you ain't going to win," he commented.

Looking ahead, Manchester United will face Bournemouth on Sunday, as Carrick and his squad aim to end their troubling streak.
