🚨|| Michael Owen on Michael Carrick losing to Manchester City despite City going down to 10 men: 🎙️ “For me, this is a really worrying result for Michael Carrick. Manchester United had the advantage, Manchester City went down to 10 men, and yet United still couldn’t take control of the game. “What makes it even more concerning is that we’ve seen this before. Last season, Everton went down to 10 men against Manchester United and somehow United allowed them to dominate the game and eventually win it. Now we’re seeing almost the same thing again against Manchester City. “When your opponent loses a player, especially in a derby, that should completely change the dynamics of the game. You should be asking questions, moving the ball quicker, stretching them, creating overloads and making that extra man count. United didn’t do enough of that. “And I have to be honest about Carrick. I’m not convinced he’s good enough to manage Manchester United at this level. You can talk about the good start, the positive moments and the improvement, but Manchester United cannot be a club where a manager gets judged only when things are going well. “The real test is what you do when the game becomes difficult. Today, Carrick had every opportunity to change the game, but United looked short of ideas. “I think he should be feeling pressure already. It’s still early, of course, but this is Manchester United. You cannot repeatedly throw away situations where the opposition is vulnerable and expect there to be no consequences. “If Carrick wants this job permanently, he has to prove that he can manage the biggest games, react tactically and make Manchester United ruthless when they have an advantage. “Because if United are going to lose games like this even when the opposition gives them a numerical advantage, then sooner or later people will start asking a very simple question: is Michael Carrick actually good enough for Manchester United?” 🎙️
