Following Manchester United's dramatic 3-2 comeback victory over Roma in the Champions League, caretaker manager Michael Carrick praised his team's resilience. Despite a difficult start and conceding a goal against the run of play, the Red Devils managed to turn the game around in the second half.
It was a tough game. We knew it would be difficult: they had only lost one game this season. They are a really strong team. There was some anxiety, and the players were a bit nervous, but at halftime, I told them to stay positive. Michael Carrick
Carrick highlighted the importance of the home crowd, noting that their support provided the necessary motivation for the players to keep pushing even after missing several scoring opportunities. The coach emphasized that the squad never gave up until the final whistle.
When asked about his long-term future at the club, Carrick remained focused on the immediate tasks ahead:
I don't have a crystal ball to know what will happen next. We are moving forward and preparing for the weekend. We have a very important game here against Aston Villa that we need to prepare for properly. Michael Carrick
