Carrick Admits Manchester United Were Poor in 4-2 Defeat to AC Milan

Carrick Admits Manchester United Were Poor in 4-2 Defeat to AC Milan — 1 of 3
1 / 3

Michael Carrick says Manchester United will be ready for their Premier League opener despite a disappointing 4-2 pre-season defeat to AC Milan in Wroclaw, Poland. United led twice through Harry Maguire and Patrick Dorgu, but defensive mistakes allowed Milan to respond. Samuel Chukwueze scored Milan's equaliser before Alphadjo Cisse, Goncalo Ramos and Ruben Loftus-Cheek completed the comeback for Ruben Amorim's side. Carrick admitted his team did not play well but said there were no excuses. He noted that several players were getting their first minutes of pre-season and insisted the squad remains in good spirits ahead of the new campaign. The match also marked Marcus Rashford's first appearance for United since December 2024, following his loan spell at Barcelona.

Do supporters see the two goals as encouraging, or do the defensive mistakes outweigh everything from this Milan loss?

Exactly, scoring twice gives fans a little spark, but a 4-2 loss still leaves plenty to worry about.

Leading twice shows there was something to build on, but conceding after both leads makes Carrick's concerns understandable.

It was disappointing, but a pre-season result alone should not decide how ready United are for the Premier League opener.

The priority before the opener is simple: review the defensive errors, tighten communication, and keep the attacking patterns that produced both goals.
