Carrick's team have been accused of playing without passion and flight in their opening weekend defeat. However, the United head coach has defended his squad, insisting he has no complaints with their desire to win the game. "Teams lose games and win games, and it's not just because you try or you don't try," Carrick said. He added that it's "so easy and lazy to just say 'team loses a game, everything's wrong'." United face Ipswich at Old Trafford on Sunday looking to pick up their first points of the season.
