Daily Mail columnist Ian Herbert criticizes Manchester United executives Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox, arguing they have treated manager Michael Carrick shamefully amid reports of his imminent sacking. Despite United securing a 3-2 victory against Roma and a 4-4 draw with Aston Villa, Herbert writes that Carrick was forced through a painful charade by conducting training while executives prepared to fly to Monaco to meet Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
