Mainoo urges Man United to fight for under-fire Carrick

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 2 Nov, 17:04 · Archive

Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo has called on his teammates to support manager Michael Carrick as the club enters a Champions League match against Roma amid a nine-game winless run.

Manchester United enter Tuesday's Champions League tie against Roma at Old Trafford without a victory in nine games, their worst winless run since 1988. The Independent reports that Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Chelsea left them above the Premier League relegation zone only on goal difference, with Carrick's position under intense scrutiny.

Kobbie Mainoo has called on his teammates to support the under-fire manager. The midfielder said he was grateful to Carrick for the trust and belief the manager had shown him. Mainoo said: 'Our way to repay that is to also be behind the manager on the pitch and off it, and fight for us as a team.' He added that players could not expect fans to be happy when results were not coming.

Mainoo suggested that one victory could shift the momentum, saying: 'We're one win away from changing that.' Carrick led United into the Champions League last season during an interim spell before being handed the permanent job. The Daily Mail reports that the last home game against Bournemouth ended with a 3-0 defeat and led to fans turning on the players.
