Man United's Carrick backs himself despite dire form
Manager Michael Carrick admits he must start winning games to keep his job after taking over at Man United.
Michael Carrick says he has the board's backing at Manchester United, but he knows results must improve. The manager denied claims of a toxic culture at the club, responding to his predecessor Erik ten Hag's criticism of the leadership.
United sits 13th in the Premier League with just one win in all competitions so far this season. The club drew 1-1 at Leeds on Sunday.
Carrick faces Como in the Champions League on Wednesday and says he is not asking for reassurance from the hierarchy. "We've got to win games of football," he said.
"That's what we're striving to do."
