Man Utd v Leeds recap, video highlights<\/a><\/p>\nCarrick left Bryan Mbeumo and Diogo Dalot out of the Starting XI and was also without Harry Maguire, and a Lisandro Martinez red card before the hour mark complicated the home fans\u2019 hopes of a comeback (though they would get a goal from Casemiro to make things interesting for the final half-hour).<\/p>\n
Leeds last won away to Man United in 1981, and this was a stunning start for Carrick\u2019s men as they allowed a first-half brace to Noah Okafor.<\/p>\n
Michael Carrick reaction to shock Manchester United home loss to Leeds at Old Trafford<\/p>\n
What happened tonight? \u201cWe didn\u2019t start the game particularly well. We conceded which Leny Yoro gets a forearm smashed in the back of his head and then they score the first goal. They didn\u2019t decide to overturn that decision so that was a big moment in the game. We didn\u2019t quite have the rhythm. We didn\u2019t click.. We had some moments but it wasn\u2019t quit there for the first half. The second half the way boys fought after another shocking, shocking decision to send Licha off. It\u2019s two games in a row we\u2019ve had decision like that go against us but that one I have to say is one of the worst I\u2019ve seen.\u201d<\/p>\n
Why did the red card shock you? \u201cYou can elbow Leny Yoro for the first goal in the side of the head. You can throw your arm in Licha\u2019s face and as he\u2019s off-balance because of that he\u2019s half-grappling and came and touches the back of his hair and pulls the bauble out, which then leads to look like \u2014 I don\u2019t even know what it looks like. It\u2019s not a pull. It\u2019s not a tug. It\u2019s not aggressive. He touches it and he gets sent off. And worse he was also sent to overturn it. It\u2019s not a clear and obvious error. Shocking.\u201d<\/p>\n
Happy with the 10-man effort? \u201cThe boys went for it. It\u2019s football. Sometimes you don\u2019t have good spells. You know we can do better and we\u2019ll look at it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bruno Fernandes reaction<\/p>\n
Thoughts on the game? \u201cWe knew they wanted to press us 1v1. We had to be better on the first ball and even better on the second. We weren\u2019t great. We gave too much space away and went 2-nil down.<\/p>\n
On the long break between games: \u201cIt is what it is. We had off for the FA Cup so we have ourselves to blame to be out of the game for so long. We have to prepare ourselves in the best way. We did it.<\/p>\n
On Lisandro Martinez\u2019s red card, referee Paul Tierney: \u201cI\u2019m not talking about the referee. If I talk about the ref, I\u2019m going to get in very big trouble because the rules are different and applied different for everyone. The difference in yellow cards, you can also see it. It\u2019s better that I don\u2019t say anything.\u201d<\/p>\n
How does this match affect your team? \u201cIt doesn\u2019t change anything we want to achieve. Our aim is to stay in the top four. It\u2019s all by our side. If we win games we\u2019ll be in the position we want to be at the end of the season.\u201d<\/p>\n
