Manchester United Backs Michael Carrick Amid Poor Start

Manchester United has reaffirmed its support for manager Michael Carrick after a challenging start to the Premier League season, where the team has garnered only four points from their first four matches. This includes a disappointing 1-0 home defeat to a rival and a midweek exit from the Carabao Cup after losing 3-2 to Brighton, despite having a 2-0 lead.

Insider Fabrizio Romano reported that the club's leadership is committed to Carrick's project, which began when he was appointed permanent manager at the end of the previous season after successfully leading the team to a third-place finish and a return to the Champions League. Carrick's first full season in charge has been rocky, but there is confidence in the squad's ability to improve as the season progresses.

Manchester United's next match is against Fulham at Old Trafford, which could provide an opportunity to alleviate some pressure on Carrick.
