The Athletic: Hierarchy backs Carrick, saying problems mostly lie with players themselves.TA:高层力挺卡里克,称问题多在球员自身
The Athletic's Laurie Whitwell says the club has decided Carrick will continue to lead the team against AFC Bournemouth on Sunday. On Thursday there was no 'crisis summit' at Carrington, and players were given a day off after returning to England at 1am. Football director Wilcox understands the budget and injury limitations, with some senior figures advocating firm support and attributing issues to players' basic errors and low confidence.
TA 跟队 Laurie Whitwell:俱乐部决定卡里克继续带队周日对伯恩茅斯;周四卡灵顿无「危机峰会」,球员凌晨 1 点返英后放假一天;威尔科克斯理解预算与伤病限制,部分高层主张坚定支持,把问题归到球员低级失误与信心不足。
The Athletic's Manchester United reporter Laurie Whitwell wrote on Friday, revealing the current assessment of Manchester United's hierarchy: The club has decided Carrick will remain as head coach and lead the team in Sunday's Premier League match against AFC Bournemouth. Thursday at Carrington training base was unusually calm – players were given a day off after returning from Italy at 1am, and the club's hierarchy was not at the base then.
Reports say there was no so-called 'crisis summit' on Thursday, but the hierarchy clearly recognised the urgency of the situation and spent the day handling various phone communications. Football director Wilcox has a good relationship with Carrick and understands the complexity of managing in the current environment: Under budget constraints set by the Glazer family and Ratcliffe, Manchester United's signings in the summer transfer window were very limited, and the team has been plagued by injuries in recent weeks.
TA 曼联跟队记者 Laurie Whitwell 周五发文,披露了曼联高层的现状评估:俱乐部的决定是让卡里克继续担任主教练,并带队出战周日对伯恩茅斯的英超。周四的卡灵顿训练基地显得格外宁静——球员在凌晨 1 点从意大利返回后,获得了一天假期,俱乐部高层当时并不在基地。
报道称,周四并没有召开所谓的「危机峰会」,但高层显然意识到局势的紧迫性,一整天都在处理各类电话沟通。足球总监威尔科克斯与卡里克关系良好,理解在当前环境下带队的复杂性:在格雷泽家族和拉特克利夫设定的预算限制下,曼联在夏季转会窗口的引援非常有限,近几周又饱受伤病困扰。
