In a candid interview with Sky Sports, Young laid bare the issues plaguing the squad and the apparent lack of unity within the ranks.
He stated:
As players, there's no togetherness here, just individuals. The Bournemouth team looked like they had far more energy and commitment.
Young defended Carrick, placing the blame for the team's underwhelming performances squarely on the players' shoulders, arguing they aren't fighting for their manager:
Different managers come and go, but the players remain the same.
The veteran also acknowledged the inevitability of decisions from the club's hierarchy:
I wish there were players who love this club as much as he does. The players might appear upset, but I think Michael realises his days are numbered.
Currently, Manchester United sit at 16th in the Premier League table, just one point above the relegation zone, intensifying the scrutiny on the club’s decision-makers.
