Manchester United exits the Carabao Cup following a defeat

According to The Guardian Sport, Manchester United exited the Carabao Cup after a defeat, with the defeat prompting boos and apathy from fans. The piece notes scrutiny over recruitment, stating £155m was spent on three midfielders while other positions were neglected, and identifies a solemn Michael Carrick and an unamused director of football Jason Wilcox as part of the reaction. It suggests the hierarchy should accept responsibility for the actions that led to the result.
