EPL: Gary Neville Identifies Where Carrick Got It Wrong Against Man City
Neville said United should have used Benjamin Sesko at halftime after City were reduced to 10 men, leaving him only 25 minutes.
- On Sunday, September 13, 2026, Manchester City defeated Manchester United 1-0 at Old Trafford, with Erling Haaland scoring the game's only goal in the second half.
- Manchester United legend Gary Neville criticized manager Michael Carrick for failing to introduce Benjamin Sesko earlier, arguing he had 20 minutes before half-time to adjust with 11 men.
- Carrick made the substitution after 67 minutes, leaving Sesko with 25 minutes; despite City playing with 10 men after Phil Foden was sent off for kicking Bruno Fernandes, United failed to capitalize.
- Neville told Sky Sports that players should focus on improving performance rather than refereeing decisions, urging the squad to avoid making excuses about playing with reduced opposition.
- Following the loss, United dropped to 13th place in the league and prepares to face Brighton and Hove Albion before their EFL Cup match on September 17th.
