‘We can’t accept that’: Carrick urges Manchester United to lift after cup collapse
‘I take responsibility ... it doesn’t feel good at the moment’ United beaten 3-2 by Brighton after taking two-goal lead Michael Carrick admitted Manchester United’s Carabao Cup capitulation against Brighton that was greeted by boos at Old Trafford was unacceptable and that answers had to be found at Fulham on Sunday. United were knocked out 3-2 by Fabian Hürzeler’s visitors after leading 2-0 after 10 minutes through Shea Lacey and Mason Mount.
Goals from Charalampos Kostoulas in first‐half added time, Pascal Gross on 65 minutes and Maxim De Cuyper four minutes later eliminated United.
