Carrick’s United Ready to Reclaim European Fight in CL Opener Against Sabah

Manchester United return to the UEFA Champions League after three years with a home clash against Sabah, and manager Michael Carrick says the team is ready to compete for progression despite a slow start in the Premier League. United acknowledge a tough, heavy schedule (Thursday-Sunday-Wednesday) while aiming to go far in Europe, having previously stumbled in group stages in recent campaigns. Benjamin Sesko is in contention for his first start of the season after a late cameo against Everton, and Matthijs de Ligt is nearing a comeback from a back injury as Carrick builds a squad capable of handling Europe’s demands.
