🗣️ Carrick on the crowd at full time: "I completely understand the supporters' feelings. We have to accept it. I fully accept it. It's my responsibility: the image the team projects, our way of playing, and the results achieved. I take full responsibility for all of that. I accept the criticism. I completely understand, given how the match unfolded." #mufc

🚨🚨🗣️ Michael Carrick asked whether Carlos Baleba will be ready after the international break:

“Yeah, definitely will be. He’ll be back in and around the group at some point over the next week or so. That means after the international [break] he should be in good shape. He’s desperate to get out there and be part of the group and training fully with the boys.” #MUFC
