Man United coach, Michael Carrick, has insisted he felt no personal relief after Manchester United\u2019s dramatic 3-2 Champions League victory over Roma, saying his only emotion was pride in a group of players who care deeply.\n<\/p>\n
United fought back from behind at Old Trafford to end a long winless run, with Matheus Cunha scoring twice in a frantic late spell before being sent off, and academy product Shea Lacey providing the decisive assists after coming off the bench.\n<\/p>\n
As reported by football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano on X on Wednesday, asked whether the result brought a sense of relief, Carrick was clear. \u201cGenuinely no. I didn\u2019t feel relief. It was more, I was genuinely pleased for the players. I know how much they care. I know what they give. It was just more seeing everybody and the feeling that we can generate when we do things right!\u201d\n<\/p>\n
The manager reserved special praise for Lacey, who entered the game with United trailing and immediately lifted the side.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s got great ability. That glint in his eyes and he plays with a bit of mischief. He was desperate to do well. I was just as happy seeing him defend as a right back! He gave everyone a lift coming on the pitch. I am so happy.\u201d <\/p>\n
On Cunha\u2019s all-action display, which ended in a red card, Carrick added: \u201cI was a bit disappointed with how it finished but it just shows how much he cares and he\u2019s willing to do when he\u2019s in that frame of mind. When he\u2019s in that mood, and he plays like that\u2026 that\u2019s what we want him here.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
Cunha himself highlighted Lacey\u2019s contribution:<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat an unbelievable pass from Shea! It\u2019s beautiful when you have an academy player that comes and has a great impact in the game. When I saw the ball going, to be honest, I didn\u2019t believe it, the comeback!\u201d\n<\/p>\n
The result leaves United with a much-needed boost in the Champions League.\n <\/p>\n
