Michael Carrick is under pressure at Man Utd, but the full-time scenes at Elland Road showed he still retains the backing of match-going fans.
Manchester Evening News writer Steven Railston argues that Michael Carrick's extended post-match applause toward the travelling supporters indicates he still retains crucial backing at Manchester United. Following a 1-1 draw against Leeds United at Elland Road, Carrick approached the away end alone and applauded for roughly 40 seconds before his squad joined him.
Railston contends that maintaining the support of the away fanbase suggests Carrick has earned more time to improve results despite the club experiencing its worst start to a league season in 40 years. United next travel to face Italian side Como on Wednesday.
