Earlier on Friday, Manchester United interim boss Michael Carrick said he was “proud of what the club stands for” at a pre-match news conference.<\/p>\n
“I’m proud of what the club stands for and has done for so long,” said Carrick. “I’m really aware of that.<\/p>\n
“Sir Jim made his statement and the club made a statement on the back of it. It is not my place to add to that.<\/p>\n
“What I can say is that I have been around this club many years.<\/p>\n
“Equality and diversity and respect for each other is something we look to carry through every day.<\/p>\n
“I have travelled the world and know what this club means to an awful lot of people.<\/p>\n
“I am fully aware of the responsibility, and we try to carry that out every day. I am proud of what the club stands for and has done for so long.”<\/p>\n
Carrick, who has been installed as head coach for the remainder of the season after Ruben Amorim’s dismissal, wore a distinctive green Unite for Access badge.<\/p>\n
The organisation aims to raise awareness and “drive equality for a more inclusive matchday experience for disabled sports fans”.<\/p>\n
“I think part of being at this club is that we understand what it’s like globally and the responsibilities we have within this,” Carrick added.<\/p>\n
“I can only speak from my personal experiences of being here for a long time with various managers, with various staff.<\/p>\n
“The supporters have largely probably stayed the same but we have gathered some new ones over the years, from all different backgrounds. It’s something we’re fully aware of and I am.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Earlier on Friday, Manchester United interim boss Michael Carrick said he was “proud of what the club stands…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":436370,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[59,57,58,50,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-436369","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-united-kingdom","8":"tag-gb","9":"tag-great-britain","10":"tag-greatbritain","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom","14":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/436369","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=436369"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/436369\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/436370"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=436369"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=436369"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=436369"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
