CARRICK CRISIS AT UNITED: POSSIBILITY OF SACKING AND GIANT COMPENSATION

The echoes of the match where Manchester United drew one-one away with Fulham continue to increase in severity in the British press. The red devils, who fell behind with Lisandro Martinez's strange own goal in the sixty-third minute, barely save a point with Matheus Cunha's late goal that hit the defense in the eighty-ninth minute. However, the main event that marks the struggle becomes the controversial substitution in the eightieth minute rather than this result. Taking the young talent Kobbie Mainoo, who was the most prominent name of the team, out of the game and putting Mason Mount on the pitch literally drives the away stands crazy. United fans immediately boo this move loudly and express their intense anger towards head coach Michael Carrick clearly. Speaking about this harsh reaction shown by the stands in the press conference right after the match, Carrick states that the substitution is a completely tactical necessity and Mainoo understands this decision well. Saying that he considers it normal for the fans to give emotional reactions, the technical man emphasizes that he does not take any offense from this situation. However, the British sports press begins to bring the possibility of sacking Carrick, whose ties with the fans come to the point of breaking completely, to their giant headlines. According to the financial reports in the press, the compensation fee that the Manchester United management has to pay if they dismiss the coach is mind-blowing. It is clearly stated that if the club parts ways with Carrick, they will face a massive compensation fee between seven point two million and eight point eight million pounds. While the uncertainty continues about how the red devils will manage this massive economic burden, the football public awaits a new official statement from the historical club with great curiosity today regarding the future.
