Michael Carrick has responded to Manchester United's challenging start to the Premier League season, where they have only one win and have matched their lowest points total after five matches. Following a 1-1 draw against Fulham, Carrick faces increasing pressure as the team sits in 12th place with five points, equaling the record set by Louis van Gaal's squad in 2014-15. The match saw United trailing due to an own goal by Lisandro Martinez, with Matheus Cunha's deflected equalizer saving them from a third consecutive defeat. Carrick acknowledged the team's performance as lacking in energy and organization, reflecting on the need for improvement.
