We had five months of relative success, and I was happy with many things I was seeing.”We haven’t done well enough recently. Wednesday was a bad night for a lot of reasons, it really hurt a lot, it hurt me to see how the game panned out. As I said after the game, it was unacceptable. Supporters pay a lot of money to follow the team and to leave with that feeling… My responsibility is to get a team on the pitch that the supporters can identify with, and we have gone away from that recently, and we need to do something about it.”It was never about Ryan Giggs, it was never about Ryan Giggs, it was about Manchester United. Wayne Rooney, the greatest goalscorer in the club’s history, he played for team. Sir Alex Ferguson, the greatest manager in the club’s history… Sir Matt [Busby] and Sir Bobby [Charlton], their resilience was beyond belief what they showed and how they rebuilt this football club. It was built on hard work, and we should never forget that.”To listen to the latest episode of ‘All Out Soccer’ – CLICK HEREThis follows Carrick’s response to Fernandes’ post-match remarks on Wednesday, when he stated: “There’s a little bit of whatever system you play, whatever tactics you play, if you don’t run, and you don’t run forward, and you don’t run back, you aren’t going to win.”The United manager will be looking to end their winless streak this weekend when his team welcomes AFC Bournemouth, who have also found victories hard to come by this season. He emphasized that it’s “pretty clear” his players must stop publicly voicing their grievances following defeats.
