'Things can very quickly spiral against you at Man Utd'

"We can't be in a position like that and lose a game in that manner," said Michael Carrick, after Manchester United exited the Carabao Cup against Brighton, but BBC Radio 5 Live's John Murray believes he "needs results - and quickly" to relieve any pressure.
Carrick added: "I understand the frustrations and the disappointments. I accept that, that is on me. It will need to be better than that [in the future]."

Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily, chief football correspondent Murray analysed Carrick's post-match comments: "Those quotes could have been from any of the managers since Sir Alex Ferguson. They have all come out with something similar to: 'We have got to show our spirit, I know they have got it, we have got to find it for Sunday'.
"[Carrick] needs results - and quickly - otherwise, as he himself pointed out, things can very quickly spiral against you at Manchester United."
Former Premier League striker Clinton Morrison added: "I echo everything that John said. Michael Carrick knows he is at a big club.
"Even though he did a fantastic job last season, he knows that you are judged on this season. Everything in football moves forward, nothing can stand still.
"This is a massive game at the weekend now [against Fulham]. A club like Manchester United cannot go into the international break losing three games in a row."
