Manchester United's interim manager Michael Carrick stated his players are eager to rebound following their first loss under his tenure. The team, currently third in the league, prepares to host Aston Villa, a direct competitor for a Champions League spot.
Carrick acknowledged the sting of the recent defeat to Newcastle but emphasized the team's focus on learning and moving forward. He highlighted a productive week of training and expressed confidence in the squad's readiness for the upcoming fixture.
Addressing criticism from former player Paul Scholes, Carrick remained unfazed, stating he does not dwell on external opinions. He also confirmed the potential return of midfielder Mason Mount, an important player for the team, though his full match fitness is still being assessed.
