Michael Carrick is reportedly in the 'box seat' for media scrutiny after Manchester United's 'dismal capitulation' against Brighton in the Milk Cup. United lost the match despite initially leading 2-0.
Carrick, who has won only two of his first six games in charge, responded to reporters about being 'under pressure' by stating, "That doesn’t bother me one bit." He added, "I understand what goes on and how the world works."
The article suggests a recurring cycle at United involving the dismissal of head coaches. Carrick's future at Old Trafford could become a 'tedious but unavoidable talking point' if the team fails to secure a win in Sunday's 'crisis klaxon derby' against Fulham.
