United have won only once in the league this season, beating Ipswich at home on 30 August, and have not won a league match since. They have conceded 15 goals in their past five games and have conceded inside two minutes in three of their past seven matches. United sit 18th with eight points from 10 league games, heading into the international window in the bottom three.
Lack of form, rising ticket prices and a negative perception of how fans are being treated have fed a reaction described as unprecedented in its ferocity since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013.
Carrick insisted he was seeing enough in United's play. For now, he is looking to a future he is certain will be brighter than what he has just endured.
Carrick was asked on Sky Sports if he was considering his position. Told of talk that he might step down for the good of the team, he retorted:"Is there?".
The tetchy response followed an eight-goal game at Old Trafford in which the hosts twice fought back from two goals down.
Dalot, used as a makeshift left-back, was jeered by some United fans when he was replaced in the second half.
On the wider picture, he said:"In terms of the bigger picture it's that rollercoaster of watching Manchester United."."We started very well, scoring two goals again,"he said.
