Midfielder Youri Tielemans has lauded Manchester United's mentality and backed manager Michael Carrick. The team secured a comeback victory over Roma with a score of 3:2 in the Champions League.
The English side were two goals down at half-time but produced a dominant second half. In an interview with Amazon Prime, Tielemans thanked the fans who remained with the team despite recent disappointments.
Throughout the game, even in the last few months, they have been fantastic; they have been behind us. They were disappointed with the results, just like we were. The turnaround in the match was brilliant; it showed strong mentality.
The player explained what changed in the dressing room at half-time.
We just kept working, kept believing. In the second half, we played aggressively, tried to pin them back, and it all worked out.
Tielemans also praised Carrick. He acknowledged the immense pressure on the manager and described the comeback as the best way to repay him for his hard work.
There has been a lot of pressure on him, and this is how we repay him — with a comeback like that, strong character, great fighting spirit.
When asked if the result saved the manager's job, the midfielder did not give a direct answer.
That's another question. All we can do is stay with him, fight for him, and fight for the club.
In the end, we go out on the pitch and have to show what we are capable of. Today, especially in the second half, we showed that we can, and we stepped up. Hopefully, this will be a good turning point for us and we can build on this success.
