Carrick speaks frankly about one Manchester United player after a shocking loss to Hull City.
"Carrick" confirms there is no issue with "Dorgu" after substituting him at halftime and praises him as an outstanding player.
Michael Carrick, manager of the "Red Devils" Manchester United, confirmed there is no problem with Patrick Dorgu, the Danish left winger, after the player was substituted at halftime in the 0-2 away loss to Hull City in the English Premier League last night. He also praised Dorgu as an excellent player who is well-liked by everyone.
Carrick said, "Dorgu is fine. We all love him a lot. He is an excellent player with a very good character."
"He is an important part of what we do and will continue to be. So it was a decision one way or another. It wasn’t personal. You know, sometimes you have to do that to try something a little different."
United failed to find a way to score after the substitution, and Benjamin Sesko appeared isolated when he came on in the final 20 minutes.
Carrick said, "We changed the plan slightly in the second half and tried to find a different way, to spark something. It can happen. It has happened before."
"We have to keep finding solutions, and part of it is that Sesko hasn’t played for quite a while and hasn’t trained much, so there are some small reasons behind it."
"As for Brian Embolo, he performed very well during the preseason and was one of our best players today."
This defeat caused Manchester United to start the season in 18th place in the Premier League standings.
