Michael Carrick sends message to Man Utd fans after 2-0 victory at Villarreal

Michael Carrick guided Manchester United to a 2-0 victory at Villarreal in his first game in charge of Manchester United.

The caretaker Manchester United boss sent a message to Manchester United fans following the victory over Villarreal.

He said: “We can hear them. We hear them loud and clear every single week, whether it’s home or away.

“I’ve said it for a long time since I came to the club 14 or 15 years ago, it’s amazing how much support they give and how much it can energise the players.

“In difficult times, I think that’s what sets them apart for me. We’ve had some difficult times over the years but they’re there and they’re supporting in the right way.

“Yeah, of course we get disappointed, and we get criticism but that’s what fans are for, because it’s what they pay the money for, it’s entertainment, it’s the life of them. The support they give the team is incredible and every one of us really does appreciate it.”
