Carrick: Man City verdict raises questions, affected me personally

Michael Carrick has spoken passionately about the Premier League's verdict on Manchester City's financial breaches, admitting he has "questions" about the process and that it "affected me personally". He emphasized that the emotional impact of missing out on a league title, specifically the 2012 season, cannot be retroactively changed by any future re-allocation of honours.

• Carrick, who was a player during the period impacted by City's wrongdoing, stated that re-awarding titles wouldn't recreate the original moment of victory and its unique feeling.
• He has called for a swift resolution to City's appeal process, insisting that clarity is needed for everyone involved.
• Looking ahead to the home match against Spurs, Carrick confirmed that Patrick Dorgu and Benjamin Sesko are sidelined for several weeks due to injury, and Noussair Mazraoui is not quite right.
• On a more positive note, Carlos Baleba has improved significantly and has trained a lot, while Amad, Marcus Rashford, and Kobbie Mainoo have also completed some training sessions.
• Old Trafford will feature a special ticker banner for the Spurs match, resetting Man City's last trophy to the 1976 League Cup final.
