Michael Carrick Just Discovered the 3 Man Utd Players He Can No Longer Trust
Manchester United were better than in recent weeks as they took on Chelsea on Saturday. Then the second half started. United fell a goal behind just five minutes after the restart and were 2-0 and a man down shortly after the hour mark. It could have got even worse, too, with Estevao straying offside by the tightest of margins before scoring what he thought was Chelsea's third goal. That will matter little to Michael Carrick, though, with the result the only important thing for United's boss. Defeat leaves his team on seven points from nine league games - by way of comparison, they had 11 from nine games when Erik ten Hag was sacked in 2024.
TL;DR
- Manchester United lost to Chelsea, continuing a poor run of form with only seven points from nine league games.
- Lisandro Martinez received a red card against Chelsea, deemed a "mindless decision" that further hampered the team.
- Bruno Fernandes was largely ineffective against Chelsea after being brought back into the starting lineup.
- Mason Mount has a poor record when starting games this season, with United losing all three he has featured in.
- Amad and Bryan Mbeumo were identified as players who performed well despite the overall defeat.
