AI analysis

Story summary

Michael Carrick, acting manager of Manchester United, expressed optimism about his team's prospects despite United experiencing its worst start to a league season in 40 years, following controversial home defeats and draws with rivals like Manchester City, Fulham, and Tottenham. This poor form has also led to their exit from the Carabao Cup. Carrick emphasized his belief in the players' ability to win many games but acknowledged that small mistakes have cost them recently. For the upcoming Champions League match against Atletico, Carrick called up a young player as reinforcements, though several key players like Luke Shaw and Kobbie Mainoo are out due to injuries or unavailability. Notably, Manchester United will not be releasing their squad details for away matches in this season's Champions League, marking a change from previous practices.
