Michael Carrick carried himself with dignity and pride as manager of Manchester United, but there were times where his temper got the better of him

Away from the cameras, but not the Amazon ones, Michael Carrick would unleash his anger on his Manchester United flops, new reports claim.

The former Reds midfielder is now a former United head coach after being sacked on Thursday (November 12). Carrick departs United having only won one of ten Premier League matches this season, a run which has left them scrambling in 18th position.

Despite some of the appalling displays his United flops put out, particularly this season, Carrick always leapt to their defence in press conferences and interviews. However, when away from the media - aside from the Amazon cameras filming the eagerly-anticipated documentary within United - Carrick unleashed some of his true thoughts.

The Athletic claim Carrick picked his moments to unleash his fury when United's performances pushed him over the edge. The first example was the 2-1 away loss to Newcastle United last season.

After the Reds were beaten by a last-minute goal from William Osula, Carrick let rip at the players with a dressing room tirade. United did not lose another match for the rest of the campaign.

This year, United's campaign began with a 2-0 away loss to Hull City that was followed by a dominant 5-2 win over Ipswich Town. The Reds looked set to make two wins in their first three matches when they led Everton 2-1 at Hill Dickinson Stadium, only for Ainsley Maitland-Niles to find the top corner and equalise with the last kick of the game.

It is reported that Carrick tore into the United squad after they dropped those points. Not only did it not have the same effect as his previous rant at St. James' Park, many felt he should have gone further and perhaps called out individual performances in the same way Sir Alex Ferguson would occasionally give the likes of Ryan Giggs the hairdryer treatment.

United failed to win any of their next seven Premier League matches, a run which leaves them floundering in the relegation zone. Their only victories in all competitions were the 4-0 Champions League win over Sabah and last week's dramatic 3-2 turnaround over Roma.

Carrick's side dropped costly points while leading Tottenham 1-0 at Old Trafford, with Spurs also going down to ten men after Rodrigo Bentancur's red card. Other poor results include the 1-1 away draw with a Fulham side who were in the relegation zone and the home defeat in the Manchester Derby against City, when United did not know what to do after their rivals went down to ten men, before emerging as 1-0 winners.

Moreover, there have also been claims Carrick had exchanges with other players in the dressing room, particularly when the reactions from the fans began to get under their skin.

When the fanbase turned on the United players, Carrick did his best to keep everybody on side. He delivered a rousing press conference monologue before the home clash against Bournemouth, only for United to be easily beaten 3-0.

Carrick remained for three more matches, which saw him lose 2-0 away to Chelsea, beat Roma 3-2 at home and draw 4-4 with Aston Villa.
