'He made three top saves' - Michael Carrick blames Bernd Leno heroics for Manchester United failing to beat Fulham

Manchester United manager Michael Carrick believes only the heroics of Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno prevented his side from securing a much-needed victory in a 1-1 draw at Craven Cottage. The Red Devils were forced to settle for a point after a dramatic late equaliser, leaving them in the bottom half of the table heading into the international break.

Carrick cut a frustrated figure following his side's 1-1 draw with Fulham , pointing directly to Leno as the primary reason the visitors failed to take all three points. The result leaves Manchester United with just five points from their opening five Premier League matches - matching their joint-lowest tally at this stage of a season, previously recorded in 2014-15.
