Manchester United manager Michael Carrick has maintained a positive outlook following the 1-1 draw with Leeds United. Although the result extended his team's winless streak to six matches, the boss was pleased with the performance.
In an interview with Sky Sports, the manager explained why he considers this match to be a positive moment for the Red Devils.
This was definitely a step in the right direction. If we had any weaknesses, they would have shown today.
Even before the game started, I could sense the players were ready. It wasn't perfect, and our confidence isn't where it needs to be right now, but the lads were trying to do the right things.
At times, we looked really good. The team defended very well.
You have to give credit to Daniel Farke and his team. They’re a very strong side. They test you and ask a lot of questions. If you're not prepared, they will expose you. I think the boys handled that well.
