Michael Carrick makes feelings clear about Manchester United star after he was booed off the pitch in 4-4 Villa draw

  • On Sunday, Manchester United manager Michael Carrick defended Diogo Dalot after the defender was booed by supporters during the 4-4 draw with Aston Villa. Fans ironically cheered when Dalot was substituted in the 66th minute.
  • Since joining United from Porto in 2018, Dalot has made 260 total appearances, though he struggled defensively against Villa. The Portuguese international conceded a penalty early in the second half, allowing visitors to regain their lead.
  • Joshua Zirkzee embraced Dalot upon reaching the bench, echoing a similar gesture Zirkzee received after being jeered against Newcastle two years ago. Carrick praised Dalot's commitment, stating "I like what he brings to the group."
  • United rescued a point with two late goals, though Carrick expressed disappointment despite the fightback. Regarding Dalot's starting spot, the manager noted that team selection remains a separate decision.
  • The club remains in the relegation zone as defensive struggles have plagued United throughout the season. While Carrick emphasized Dalot's positive influence on team culture, improved performances are essential for the squad's survival.
