Michael Carrick confident of Man Utd resurgence ahead of crucial Fulham clash despite historic Carabao Cup collapse

Michael Carrick insists that Manchester United can salvage their season despite a devastating Carabao Cup exit that saw the Red Devils surrender a two-goal lead at home. The Old Trafford faithful made their feelings clear at the final whistle, greeting the manager and his players with a deafening chorus of boos after Brighton staged a remarkable second-half comeback.

Despite a lightning-fast start that saw teenager Shea Lacey score on his full debut followed by a Mason Mount strike, United managed to surrender a 2-0 lead to lose 3-2 to Brighton . It was the first time since 1976 that a Red Devils side had thrown away a two-goal advantage to lose at the Theatre of Dreams, and the fans let their feelings be known.
