Daniel Farke blasts Michael Carrick criticism before Leeds vs Man Utd

Daniel Farke believes ‘the outside world’ want Michael Carrick to fail at Manchester United

Daniel Farke has hit out at criticism directed at Michael Carrick and claims he has done a ‘tremendous job’ at Manchester United.

Carrick was brought in as interim manager after Ruben Amorim was sacked in January and guided United to Champions League qualification with an impressive run of form during the second half of the season.

However, United have made an underwhelming start to the new campaign, registering just two wins in nine games so far.

Doubts have already been raised over Carrick’s future at United but Farke is adamant that the 45-year-old should be supported.

When asked about the criticism Carrick has received in recent weeks, Farke said: ‘We have the tendency in football, as well as in society, that everyone has to be quicker, everyone doubts a bit more.

‘Developments on social media, not complaining, but just a fact everyone comes out with negativity and likes if someone fails. I don’t like this development in our society, not at all. We have the same in football, so we won’t be able to avoid it. It’s just a fact we have to deal with it and I still don’t like it.

‘As much as I am responsible, I won’t go into this strand. When we think about Michael, we don’t have too many young English coaches and managers in the Premier League.
