Manchester United fans question Michael Carrick
Manchester United fans question Michael Carrick's decision
Michael Carrick has been forced to make one change to his Manchester United starting XI, with Matheus Cunha replacing Patrick Dorgu, following the Danish star's injury. The Red Devils faithful still have one issue with the team news, and it is a concern for many fans.
The new head coach has kept faith in Senne Lammes in goal, while Diogo Dalot and Luke Shaw operate as the full-backs. Harry Maguire and Lisandro Martinez keep their places as the center-backs for the Fulham clash.
Casemiro and Kobbie Maioo continue to operate the midfield, with Bruno Fernandes for support right ahead of them. Amar Diallo and Matheus Cunha are the wingers today, with Bryan Mbeumo leading the attack once again.
Manchester United fans are happy with the team as it has delivered against Manchester City and Arsenal, but have one concern. Many are questioning the decision to start Dalot and posted:
Carrick spoke about the Fulham clash in his press conference and praised the London side, saying:
"It is a tough game, a really tough challenge. Marco has got them into a really good team. All of a sudden Fulham is a different game because we are at home. Taking anything for granted is bang out of order really and it might be the case the flow of the game is the same as the last two. There is no shame in that. We will deal with game in front of us and we will do whatever it takes to come out on top."
Manchester United need the win to get back into the Premier League top 4 after Chelsea and Liverpool won their matches on Saturday, January 31.
Michael Carrick backs Manchester United fans' protest
Manchester United fans are protesting against the club owners ahead of their Fulham game and Michael Carrick has no problem with it. The new head coach said that it was not going to be a distraction and said:
"I don't think it [the protest] connects with the two wins, to be honest. I fully respect the supporters. I'm not offended by it or anything, and the players certainly aren't. Within the stadium, the support we've felt, and that's been there for all the games that I've watched for quite some time, has been of the highest level and I'm sure it will continue to be like that."
"The connection we've had over the last couple of weeks has been pretty special and we've both fed off that. That's exactly how we wanted it to be and is something we need to keep building on moving forward."
Manchester United have won their last two matches and are looking to end the season on a high.
