Carrick admits Manchester United’s league position “doesn’t look great

Michael Carrick admitted Manchester United are in an uncomfortable position after their 1-1 Premier League draw away to Leeds United left them in the lower half of the table.

United were unable to turn the match at Elland Road into a much-needed victory, and Carrick accepted that the standings make difficult reading for the club. “It doesn’t look great,” he said of their league position after the final whistle.

The point prevents a defeat but does little to ease the pressure on United, whose season remains below the level expected of a side aiming to compete near the Premier League’s leading places.
