Carrick seeks a catalyst as bottom-side Tottenham visit United
Story updated
The story in brief
26-second readManchester United’s 12th-place standing after five Premier League matches makes Saturday evening’s visit from bottom-placed Tottenham an immediate results test for Michael Carrick. United have won only once in the league, while Spurs have collected two points.
The Guardian frames a home victory as close to a necessity for Carrick, with a difficult October schedule already looming. United’s late equaliser at Fulham brought a point but did little to settle a stuttering start.
The Reds need more than territorial control at Old Trafford: a win would lift the mood before a month that offers little breathing room.
