Manchester United suffered another frustrating result under Michael Carrick after drawing 1-1 with Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League at Old Trafford on Saturday.
Bryan Mbeumo put United ahead in the 73rd minute, giving the hosts hope of securing a much-needed victory. Tottenham's task became harder when Rodrigo Bentancur was sent off for an incident involving Luke Shaw.
However, Dominic Solanke stunned the home crowd by scoring a stoppage-time equaliser in the 92nd minute. United failed to capitalise on their numerical advantage, dropping two crucial points and extending their disappointing run of form.
Michael Carrick Sets Unwanted Manchester United Record
The draw against Tottenham has further highlighted Manchester United's struggles under Carrick this season.
The Red Devils have collected just six points from their opening six Premier League games, marking their worst start to a league campaign in 40 years.
United's inability to turn promising situations into victories has become a major concern, with the Tottenham draw providing another example. Despite playing against 10 men for the closing stages, Carrick's side could not protect their lead.
The result will increase pressure on the Manchester United manager as supporters grow increasingly frustrated with the team's inconsistent performances.
Can Manchester United Turn Their Season Around?
Carrick must find solutions quickly if United are to recover from their disastrous opening to the campaign.
Their lack of consistency, defensive vulnerabilities and inability to close out matches have cost them valuable points. The late equaliser against Tottenham was particularly damaging, given the circumstances surrounding the game.
With only six points secured from six league matches, Manchester United face an uphill battle to climb the Premier League table. Carrick will need an immediate improvement in results to ease the growing pressure at Old Trafford.
