Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo: On his expectations versus reality playing for Man United: "I’ve been at this club for a long time and I know there’s always going to be ups and downs, it’s never going to be plain sailing and smooth to the top so you expect bumps and the best thing about it is you’re able to bounce back from them." On players' gratitude for support and defence from Carrick: "Yeah of course, I feel like our way to repay that is to also be behind the manager on the pitch and off it and fight for us and fight for us as a team." On fans' frustration: "In these tough times you can’t expect the fans one-hundred percent of the time to be happy and cheering when we’re not putting out results and we owe it to them to put results out there for them." On what Carrick has done for him: "I’m very grateful to the boss for putting the trust in me as soon as he came in and putting that belief in me and giving me all the advice that he has knowing that he’s been a player for this club and knows the history of this club and what it takes to win. "I take those words to heart and try to apply them every day in training and in games."
