Michael Carrick's calm leadership and Manchester United's poor start

The Athletic says Carrick simplified things when he took over from Ruben Amorim in January, but questions whether his even temperament will work long-term. After a 1-1 home draw with 10-man Tottenham, Carrick said he understood the fans who booed and did not criticize his players. The Athletic says United have won only twice this season and calls it their worst league start in four decades.
