Manchester United supporters boo at Old Trafford after another disappointing start to the season, according to reports ahead of and following a midweek game. The jeers are described as becoming more familiar in recent months, though they are new for Michael Carrick in his role at the club.

Carrick’s early period is framed as having brought optimism, including a run of high-profile wins and a return to the Champions League. However, the latest reports say United’s league and cup form has deteriorated, with the team losing three of its first six games and being eliminated from the English League Cup.

Across the outlets provided, the common focus is the contrast between the initial upturn under Carrick and the current atmosphere among fans. Both sources tie the boos directly to results and to a sequence of poor performances, rather than to specific incidents during a particular match.
