Carrick doesn’t think Newcastle should’ve been penalised for the free-kick which led to the first goal and Yoro, who he says will be a top player, slipped for the second. He felt the crowd were waiting for them to pull one back, but then they conceded the third and he had “mixed emotions” at the end of the game. It was a tough day for the players and they went into the game having been “rocked a bit”.
The players are really hurting and disappointed, but you have to accept that’s the situation United are in. It’s really difficult for me to have day like this at this football club and to feel the dynamics of it … not for me, but for Manchester United,” he says. He feels a lot of responsibility, he’s been at the club a long time, and it hurts and awful lot.
Asked about Bruno, he says there are always times you’re trying to change the course of play, but those are the decisions he made today, and finally, told it felt like a farewell from him at the end, he says it wasn’t, he’s feeling for his players, it’s mixed emotions and he appreciates the support, but results and performances haven’t been good enough. It’s a tough situation, there’s no hiding from it, he’s always done what’s best for the football club and he loves the job he has. It’s hard not to feel for a man about whom you rarely hear a bad word.
