Rooney Warns Carrick of Mounting Pressure After Manchester United’s Poor Start

1 / 3

Wayne Rooney says Michael Carrick must push harder for new signings as pressure grows on the Manchester United manager after an unconvincing start to the season. United lost 2-0 to Hull in their opening league match, beat Ipswich, and then drew 2-2 with Everton. Rooney believes the club’s transfer business has left Carrick short of the squad strength needed to compete at the highest level. The former United striker said Carrick may publicly support the players brought in, but cannot afford to wait until next season to fix key areas of the team. He also urged supporters to be patient with the rebuilding process, pointing to Arsenal’s gradual progress under Mikel Arteta. Manchester United face Sabah in the Champions League on Thursday as Carrick looks to restore confidence.
