Michael Carrick responded to Gary Neville's criticism of Manchester United players, saying 'Gary says a lot of things' when asked if he was surprised by Neville's comments. Neville had criticized some players for lacking professionalism, citing inappropriate lifestyles. Carrick initially denied experiencing unprofessionalism from his players.

Manchester United's poor form has seen them win just two of their first 12 matches across all competitions, leaving them 16th in the Premier League table, one point above the relegation zone. The team's fitness and match sharpness have been questioned, with many fans pointing fingers at the players for underperforming.

Carrick emphasized his unity with the players, stating he is 'with the players 100 per cent' and that they are 'all in it together.' He acknowledged the mixed feelings from the fans after the loss to Bournemouth but stressed the importance of overcoming the current situation as a team, including the supporters.

How we label and update stories

Source context

Michael Carrick has been asked about damning remarks Gary Neville recently made about some of the current Manchester United players. Former club captain Gary Neville said he has no time for some Manchester United players due to their lack of professionalism, suggesting he knows of several squad members guilty of living inappropriate lifestyles. These comments came after the disappointing 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth last weekend, which extended the team’s winless run to eight matches. The abysmal form has United sitting 16th in the Premier League table, one point adrift of the relegation zone. Carrick’s side has also won just two of their first 12 matches across all competitions. It’s no secret that the players are underperforming, and most opponents look hundreds of miles ahead in terms of fitness and match sharpness.
