Manchester United manager Michael Carrick stated that his team needs more clean sheets as they prepare to face Como in the Champions League. Carrick became interim manager in January and was appointed permanently in May, succeeding Erik ten Hag, who served from April 2022 to October 2024.
Manchester United's squad management faced additional scrutiny after the club spoke to Manchester City about Algeria international Rayan Ait-Nouri on deadline day, suggesting they viewed the position as a potential issue. Within the agent fraternity, sympathy exists for Wilcox regarding a budget that many in the game considered inadequate to address the club's needs.
Addressing the media on Tuesday with Santos sitting next to him, Carrick responded to questions regarding shutouts and whether he had figured out the defensive problem. He noted that winning football games is essential for everything to fall into place.
