Michael Carrick issues verdict on Man United’s 0-0 draw vs. Sunderland Manchester United boss Michael Carrick has insisted that his side earned a good point against Sunderland after the two sides played out a goalless stalemate. Draw United’s three-game winning streak was brought to an end at the Stadium of Light on Saturday afternoon.
A combination of Senne Lammens and the frame of the goal helped United get away with something after an uninspiring performance. Noah Sadiki came close to breaking the deadlock in the ealy stages when he ran clear but Lammens got down well to keep his effort out. Lammens was United’s hero yet again in the second half as he produced another top save to thwart Brian Brobbey, who was a constant thorn to the visitors’ defensive quartet.
Brobbey set up Lutsharel Geertruida in the closing stages of the game but the substitute only managed to rattle the post. Eventually, both sides had to settle for a share of the points. Carrick spoke to Premier League Productions after the final whistle and emphasised that the Stadium of Light was always going to be a tricky affair for United.
He also had his say on the displays of Joshua Zirkzee, Mason Mount, Noussair Mazraoui and Lisandro Martinez and Amad, who were all brought into the starting XI. Carrick’s remarks The 44-year-old coach said, “It’s a tough place to come. They’ve had a good record here all season.
We’ll take the point, a clean sheet is always good to get. ” “We’ve scored a lot of goals this season, its just one of those games. A decent enough point and we nearly won it at the end.
