Carick, Man United Manager: We committed 'unacceptable' errors against Aston Villa

Manchester United manager Michael Carrick criticized his team’s performance in the thrilling 4-4 draw against Aston Villa in the English Premier League on Sunday. Speaking to the BBC after the match, Carrick said, “We made things difficult for ourselves. I think we performed well for most of the game, but we put ourselves in a tough position.” The English manager added, “We made unacceptable mistakes at the start of the match, which everyone, including myself, is aware of, but we managed to get back into the game and delivered a good performance.” He continued, “We could have scored more, but we conceded additional goals due to individual errors, so we need to improve defensively.” Carrick further stated, “I believe we were the better team, but conceding two goals forced us into a defensive stance. Nevertheless, we kept pushing until we eventually equalized.” On his feelings in the final minutes, he concluded, “I told myself that anything was possible if we scored one more goal. We didn’t give up and held on to our chances to come back throughout.”
