Did Jamie Carragher add insult to injury by speaking about Michael Carrick after Manchester United lost 1-2 to ten-man Newcastle United in the Premier League?
On 5 March 2026, Jamie Carragher, Liverpool legend and renowned Premier League pundit, commented on Michael Carrick, the English interim manager, following his leadership of Manchester United in their 1-2 away defeat to ten-man Newcastle United in the Premier League last night.
Jamie Carragher expressed his views on the Red Devils' defeat, saying, “Honestly, I don't think anyone should be surprised by that result. Manchester United have played very poorly in the last three or four games. Their form has really declined. Previously, they still got decent results, but now it seems different. It looks like there’s no structure or clear direction. The manager doesn’t know what he’s doing, and even Benjamin Sesko couldn’t help the team today.”
Manchester United will next play in the Premier League at Old Trafford, hosting Aston Villa, managed by Spanish coach Unai Emery, on Sunday, 15 March 2026, with kickoff at 21:00 Thailand time.
