The Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag, has hit back at Jamie Carragher’s criticism of his side’s defending. Speaking on Sky Sports, the former Liverpool defender Carragher was scathing about United’s display in Saturday’s 2-1 defeat by Fulham, which ended a five-match winning run that had fuelled some optimism around Old Trafford. But Ten Hag accused Carragher of being biased against his side, saying: ‘First of all, some analysts are very objective in their comments, very good advice, some are very subjective. Jamie Carragher is one of them. From the first moment on he has criticised and now he wants to make his point.’
