Neville calls Man Utd 'pathetic' - but Carrick maintains belief

SO BASICALLY FIFTEEN MINUTES IS THE NUMBER THAT BROKE GARY NEVILLE BECAUSE HE HAS WATCHED MANCHESTER UNITED SINCE HE WAS FIVE YEARS OLD AND HE CALLED THEIR SECOND-HALF SPELL AGAINST FULHAM THE WORST FIFTEEN MINUTES HE HAS EVER SEEN AND ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC AND MARTINEZ SCORED AN OWN GOAL WHICH IS WILD BECAUSE UNITED ONLY SALVAGED A ONE-ONE DRAW OFF AN EIGHTY-NINTH MINUTE DEFLECTED STRIKE BY MATHEUS CUNHA AND THE THING IS FANS ARE LIVID AFTER LOSING TO TEN-MAN MANCHESTER CITY AND BLOWING A LEAD TO BRIGHTON FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FIFTY YEARS SO NOW FITNESS QUESTIONS ARE EXPLODING AFTER TIELEMANS SAID THEY DID NOT PRIORITISE RUNNING AND FANS BOOED CARRICK FOR SUBBING OFF KOBBIE MAINOO BUT MICHAEL CARRICK MAINTAINS BELIEF AND CLAIMS PUSHING LATE PROVES FITNESS IS NOT AN ISSUE. ANYWAY THAT IS ALL I KNOW, GENUINELY.

I PROMISE I AM NOT BEING DRAMATIC BUT MICHAEL CARRICK IS STANDING THERE DEFENDING HIS SQUAD'S FITNESS RIGHT AFTER GARY NEVILLE CALLED MANCHESTER UNITED ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC ON TELEVISION AND THE THING IS THE FANS LITERALLY BOOED CARRICK FOR SUBBING OFF KOBBIE MAINOO WITH ELEVEN MINUTES LEFT WHICH IS WILD BECAUSE THEY HAD TO RELY ON AN EIGHTY-NINTH MINUTE DEFLECTED SHOT FROM MATHEUS CUNHA JUST TO ESCAPE CRAVEN COTTAGE WITH A ONE-ONE DRAW AFTER MARTINEZ SCORED AN OWN GOAL AND THIS IS DIRECTLY AFTER BLOWING A TWO-GOAL LEAD AT HOME TO BRIGHTON AND LOSING TO A TEN-MAN MANCHESTER CITY SO NOW EVERYONE IS FREAKING OUT OVER YOURI TIELEMANS SAYING THEY DID NOT PRIORITISE RUNNING IN PRE-SEASON BUT CARRICK INSISTS THE LATE EQUALISER PROVES FITNESS IS NOT AN ISSUE AND SAYS MAINOO IS FINE AND THE FANS ARE JUST EMOTIONAL. ANYWAY REMIND ME TO LOOK THIS UP TOMORROW.

Gary Neville labeled Manchester United "pathetic" after a 1-1 draw at Fulham, but manager Michael Carrick maintained belief and dismissed concerns over squad fitness.
