Crisis deepens for United after Como defeat
Manchester United suffered a heavy 4-1 loss against Como in Wednesday night's Champions League match at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia. The defeat extends United's winless streak to seven consecutive matches in all competitions.
Head coach Michael Carrick saw his team fall apart on the pitch in Italy, leaving his future at the club hanging in the balance after a very poor start to the season.
Tielemans speaks on team failure
Summer signing Youri Tielemans admitted that everything was missing from the performance. He explained that the dressing room atmosphere was not great after the match, which he felt everyone could understand.
Tielemans noted that the team was disjointed and failed to press properly. He stated that players could not make the right decisions on the ball, allowing Como to play around them with ease throughout the night.
Apologies and tactical friction
At the final whistle, a furious Carrick marched over to the away end to apologize to the fans who made the trip to Italy. Tielemans echoed his manager's feelings, saying that traveling supporters do not want to see such results and that the players must apologize through better performances on the pitch.
Meanwhile, skipper Bruno Fernandes publicly questioned Carrick's approach after the match. This public statement has increased speculation over the coach's future ahead of Sunday's home match against Bournemouth.
