Sky Sports' Paul Merson believes Manchester United’s transfer strategy is to blame for their worst start to a top-flight season instead of head coach Michael Carrick.
Paul Merson argues that Manchester United's flawed transfer strategy, rather than head coach Michael Carrick, is responsible for the club's poor start to the season. Manchester United currently sits in the Premier League relegation zone with just eight points from their opening 10 matches, having conceded 30 goals in all competitions.
Merson believes club hierarchy erred by signing forwards and midfielders before addressing their defensive weaknesses. While Mauricio Pochettino is reportedly open to talks if approached, Merson states that United should retain Carrick and that the club's ongoing struggles stem from unrealistic expectations and player mistakes.
