Man Utd’s winless run continues
The result sees Como in ninth with six points from three games, while Manchester United sit in a worrying 21st place with only three points.
This marked the Red Devils’ second consecutive Champions League loss, having lost to Atletico Madrid in the previous matchweek, with their only win coming against Azerbaijan team Sabah FK.
The game against Sabah also marks the last win for Carrick’s men in all competitions, having suffered three draws and four losses since then.
They are now winless in seven consecutive games across all competitions for the first time since a run of eight matches between November and December 2015.
Carrick reacts to Como defeat
Speaking after the defeat, Carrick said, “I’m really angry but you’ve got to move on and deal with what’s next. At this moment in time, there’s a lot to do before the next game to get the team ready, because that was a difficult night for everybody.
“It’s not about playing for me – it’s about playing for this club. My whole life’s wrapped around it [Man Utd]. I genuinely give everything I possibly can. It’s not about me, it’s about what we all give.”
When asked whether his players had given their all as much as he does, he answered, “I’d like to think so. I didn’t like what I saw tonight though.”
