Man Utd Slammed With 'Harshest Possible Verdict' After Squandering Lead in Fulham Stalemate

Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick attempted to stay composed despite what Gary Neville called "the ultimate criticism"—his players simply failed to put in the necessary effort against Fulham.

The promising start to the Carrick era has been overshadowed by a difficult beginning to the current season. A heavily deflected late strike from Matheus Cunha in the 89th minute rescued a 1–1 draw against a Fulham side yet to claim their first win of the campaign, leaving United with just one win from their opening five Premier League fixtures.

An early Carabao Cup exit at the hands of Brighton & Hove Albion just days prior has further dampened spirits, and Neville was not hesitant in directing criticism toward the squad.
