Michael Carrick urges Manchester United to channel derby frustration ahead of Cup match

Summary

Michael Carrick called on Manchester United to use the 'injustice' from their recent derby defeat as motivation for their Carabao Cup clash against Brighton this Wednesday. Following a 1-0 loss to Manchester City, where a disputed goal by Erling Haaland was allowed, United's morale has been impacted. They sit with only four points from four Premier League games, causing concern after a promising previous season. United aims to regain momentum against a Brighton side fresh off a 5-0 victory at Coventry. Carrick emphasized the importance of winning trophies to restore confidence among players and fans.
