Inside Michael Carrick’s inspirational half-time team talk as Dalot reveals how he fired up Man Utd stars to beat Roma

MICHAEL CARRICK urged Manchester United players to stop dropping their heads in a fired-up half-time message with Manchester United 2-0 down to Roma. Diogo Dalot revealed the players had “nothing more to lose” before their stunning 3-2 comeback over Roma in the Champions League on Tuesday. A dismal first half showing meant United were staring down the barrel of a tenth game without a win to leave Carrick’s future on the brink. Carrick’s ability to inspire a response from his squad has come under scrutiny after seven defeats from 14 games this season.
