Manchester United backs Michael Carrick amid poor Premier League start

Manchester United continues to show support for manager Michael Carrick despite a challenging start to the Premier League season, where the team has gathered just four points from four matches. The recent 1-0 home loss to Manchester City heightened scrutiny around Carrick's position. However, club officials emphasize patience and a belief in Carrick's ability to improve the team's performance. Concerns include a lack of a quality left-back, which was recognized as a need going into the summer transfer window. Expectations remain that Carrick can turn the situation around, particularly following the upcoming international break.
