Senne Lammens has called for Man Utd to remove 'sour taste' of Tottenham draw
While Man United marked their return to Europe’s top table with a comfortable win over competition debutants Sabah last month, they have not won a game since.
The controversial home defeat to Manchester City and subsequent draws with Fulham and Tottenham has culminated in United’s worst start to a league season for 40 years, and they’ve also been dumped out of the Carabao Cup.
Despite a four-game winless run across all competitions, Michael Carrick’s job as Man Utd head coach is reportedly safe, and he remains confident the team can turn things around.
“We're hugely positive. The boys have got the confidence in each other, and I've got the utmost belief in them,” Carrick said in the news conference.
“And it's very fine lines, you know. We didn't start the game very well the other day, and we all acknowledge that. The last three goals we've kind of conceded really in the league have all been avoidable and that changes things an awful lot.
“So it's very fine margins, you know. But I've got the utmost of confidence in the boys that we can win games and win a lot of games.”
In a change from recent seasons, Man United will not be announcing their squad for Champions League away games this season. As per the Manchester Evening News, the decision has been made as the club believe it could be disadvantageous.
