Michael Carrick says he found a fresh “spine” of Man Utd in two players despite draw vs Leeds

The positives aren’t many for Man Utd this season, but Michael Carrick made a bold claim that a fresh “spine” is emerging at the club.

Just seven points from seven games is hardly an acceptable start for most clubs, let alone Man Utd, who finished third last season. A draw against Leeds is not the worst result, all things considered, but Michael Carrick is under pressure due to the big picture.

According to him, however, a fresh “spine” emerging at Old Trafford can spark a turnaround soon. Carrick deployed Andrey Santos alongside Carlos Baleba for the first time against Atletico in the Champions League, and both did well individually, and together, despite the 2-0 loss.
