Michael has said there was nothing wrong with the team&#8217;s energy, but he&#8217;s got to stop defending them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I get why he&#8217;s defending them. He&#8217;s loyal and wants his players to work for him, but both teams were the same. I called them mannequins. I&#8217;ve never seen a United team walk around as much as that. No alertness, no aliveness. You should always be on your toes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Very rarely do I say a team doesn&#8217;t work hard or is lacking in effort because that&#8217;s the ultimate criticism, but for the first 60 minutes Man Utd were a genuine disgrace. Nowhere near good enough without the ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Michael will obviously be saying something different privately, but that would&#8217;ve really worried me. There&#8217;s no panic or pressure on Carrick, but if those types of performances continue, he&#8217;ll find himself in a lot of trouble. They&#8217;ve got to work harder than that for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I wish he could play all of those attacking players, but they&#8217;re going to kill him defensively.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">See less<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve never seen a Man Utd team walk out of possession as much as that.
