London, Oct 19 — Michael Carrick said Manchester United’s hard-fought 1-1 draw at bitter rivals Leeds yesterday felt like a “fresh start” even though their long wait for a win goes on.
Leeds forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin cancelled out Bryan Mbeumo’s first-half opener at Elland Road, extending United’s winless run to six matches in all competitions.
But Carrick saw positive signs five days after the 2-0 Champions League loss at Atletico Madrid, which sparked Lisandro Martinez’s criticism of the club hierarchy over a lack of summer investment.
“We’re not getting too carried away because we haven’t won the game,” said the Red Devils boss, who started the Argentina defender at Leeds but had to replace him at the break due to a thigh problem.
