Michael Carrick Decides on Quitting Man Utd Today and Issues Martinez Verdict
Michael Carrick claimed that he was yet to see the Lisandro Martinez red card incident at the centre of Manchester United's defeat at Chelsea, while also providing an update on his future at the club. United's 2-0 loss ensured their winless run stretched to nine matches. While he was naturally frustrated by the loss, Carrick does not expect to be dismissed or plans to resign before the midweek Champions League game against Roma. Martinez was vocally critical of United after a recent defeat away to Atletico Madrid, but on this occasion it was his on-field actions which were to blame. Carrick couldn't even look at the Argentine as he left the pitch early, having picked up two yellow cards in just over a minute.
