Is Carrick Under Pressure Already? What's Going Wrong at Man Utd w/ Adam Joseph

23 Sep 2026 · 30 min

Michael Carrick's Manchester United have five points from their opening five Premier League games and performances have fallen below expectations — so how much responsibility should fall on the coach considering all the other factors hanging over the club?

Adam Joseph joins for this episode and the guys take a closer look at Carrick's start to the season - focusing on the areas where United simply haven't delivered: in both boxes, in their defensive structure, intensity, game management and more.

There's discussion on how much this falls on the coaches, how much is on the players, and how long everyone has to turn this around and how they can do it before serious decisions are made on another coach in the United hot seat.
