Carrick on support he got from fans post-match: “Really mixed emotions. I didn't really expect that off the supporters but I’ve always felt that connection with them. It meant an awful lot.” – at Urmston, England

Been fortunate to have some amazing experiences in this job, but caddying for Laurie Canter in India was up there with the very best.
Visa issues, storms, 4am starts, vomiting, broken bibs, shame, glory, and peacocks. We had it all. What a wild ride.

🔺 NEW: The Manchester United hierarchy were shocked by the poor performance of the players in the loss by Como and feel they should take a portion of the blame for the slump in form that has left Michael Carrick fighting to save his job ⬇️

Pitiful Man United suffer one of their worst European defeats in history. On the whistle report from Como here👇
thetimes.com/sport/football/… – at Como, Lombardy
A goal conceded at the start of both halves. And both of them were really soft. This team has no backbone whatsoever – at Como, Lombardy
"Attack, attack, attack," the away end chant. Wouldn't blame them if they headed back into Como for a pint at half-time. This has been dreadful so far from Utd. – at Como, Lombardy
