Manchester United will host AS Roma in a crucial match in the Champions League on Tuesday night. Michael Carrick appeared with Kobi Maino at the press conference before this sensitive European match and answered the questions of reporters.
At the beginning of the meeting, Carik described the situation of the team’s injured and said: “Lenny Euro feels a little pain in the tendon area, but he is managing this issue.” Luke Shaw will definitely not be available this week and will not play. In the case of Marcus Rashford, we have to check his recovery and improvement day by day to see when he will be ready to play.”
The head coach of the Red Devils said in response to recent scandals and rumors about the condition of his team’s dressing room: “Our dressing room is in a very good condition. People’s perception and perspective is a strange thing, anyone can tell the story in the way they like. The commitment and dedication of the players to the club and to each other is real and solid, and I have no doubts about it.”
“It’s the nature of the job and I live with it,” Carrick said of the pressures of managing United and the crisis of recent results. When the team keeps winning, a lot of people can do my job and coach. “The poor results have not changed my mindset.”
One of the interesting parts of the meeting was the reminder of United’s historic 7-1 victory against Roma. A dream night in which Carrick scored two goals. “It was a long time ago, wasn’t it?” the United boss smiled. It was a magical night. One of the best nights and atmospheres I had the chance to experience. I remember very well that I scored two goals in that game, although it was very unusual for me to score a double. That’s why that race is one of the best memories of my life.”
Michael Carrick said about his future: “My future? I cannot predict the future. One never knows what will happen. However, I’m really looking forward to tomorrow’s game. Maybe you think I’m a crazy person considering the results we got, but I’m an optimist and whatever happens after this, it will happen and the work will go wherever it wants.”
Michael Carrick’s career situation is not a concern for him at the moment and this coach has preferred to focus on raising the morale of his players.
He said: “I know the players and I know what they can do. We have shown this at some point and we saw it a little bit the other day. We have to react and make a difference quickly. “We have two big games this week and this is another big opportunity to play forward and make this a big night for us.”
The competition calendar does not spare the Red Devils; They will first host Roma and then face Aston Villa and Liverpool in the Premier League.
In response to this question, for example, Lisandro Martinez’s red card in this weekend’s game against Chelsea, the coach said: “I have said before, I do not question the commitment of the players in any way. We can make better decisions, but there is no shortage of work at all. “If Michael Carrick goes down, he will defend his players.”
