What they said

Carrick told TNT Sports the performance was “more than disappointing” and “unacceptable”, Yahoo Sports reported. “I 100% take responsibility for the overall team and the performance,” he said. “That’s where it stops. It stops with me.” He also apologised to United’s travelling supporters, BBC Sport reported.
