In the third round of the League Cup, Manchester United led Brighton 2-0 at Old Trafford but ultimately lost 3-2 after a dramatic comeback. After the match, Manchester United manager Michael Carrick spoke to Radio 5 Live, saying the team should not have lost in that manner when in a commanding position, and he took responsibility for the result.

On the Match

Michael Carrick said: "Looking back now, the start of the game feels like a long time ago, but we started really well. That's everything we wanted to see, and in some respects, it was even better than we expected. And Chey Lazey scored a goal.

After that, the night took a completely different turn. But for Chey, for the Academy, and for everyone who's supported him throughout, having a moment like that—he should have celebrated and enjoyed it more. In the end, we started the game very well.

But as the game went on, we gradually let the situation slip out of our control. Ultimately, it was a very disappointing night. It's normal for me to speak like this, and we accept it. We cannot lose a match like that when we're in a commanding position. I understand the disappointment and frustration, and I accept it. This is my responsibility. We have to do better than that."

Did You Communicate with the Team About These Issues?

Michael Carrick said: "We cannot change what happened. It's done. As a team, we must move forward. We need to learn and learn how to cope with different situations. Sometimes certain situations are easy to manage, sometimes they're not. Tonight was a very difficult match, and we couldn't find a solution. It's down to me and the coaching staff to help the players and guide them through this situation. I think we all know well that what tonight's result has left us feeling is deep disappointment.

Over the past week or two, there have been small things that haven't gone the way we needed, and these have accumulated, making the problems feel much bigger. I think we need to be honest and accept that. For example, the match against Everton—the goal they scored from outside the box late in the game—and Manchester City's goal a few days ago. These things can accumulate and quickly become bigger problems.

But I understand why everyone is disappointed, because given the situation we were in, we shouldn't have finished the match like that. We must be humble and accept this. We need to find answers for Sunday's match."
