It was broadcast live on TNT Sports and Discovery Plus.<\/div>\n<p>Carrick comes into the game with a perfect record of four wins from four games since replacing the sacked Ruben Amorim at Old Trafford last month.<\/p>\n<p>However, a rejuvenated West Ham side took the lead early in the second half through Tomas Soucek and came close to clinching a crucial victory for survival until substitute Benjamin Sesko equalized with a fine finish in the 96th minute. <\/p>\n<p>It was the first time in Carrick&#8217;s short spell that he failed to pick up all three points, and he admitted to TNT Sports that he had some regrets about his performance.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We were OK. I think we were a little disappointed. We definitely weren&#8217;t at our best,&#8221; Carrick said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s only when we&#8217;re not at our absolute best that we can find a way and keep a clean sheet and move forward, so we&#8217;re a bit frustrated with that. <\/p>\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-col text-left focus:outline-none gap-tk-fx-between-elements-md\" data-testid=\"body-thumbnail\">\n<div class=\"group relative w-full\" aria-label=\"Play video\" aria-pressed=\"false\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\">\n<div data-testid=\"body-thumbnail-picture\" class=\"wrapper-16-9 rounded-tk-radius-rs-sm relative\">\n<figure class=\"card-hover-zoom absolute h-full w-full\">\n<div class=\"h-full w-full object-cover\" data-testid=\"blurry-image-wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"text-transparent h-full w-full object-cover\" src=\"https:\/\/imgresizer.tntsports.io\/unsafe\/1200x0\/filters:format(jpeg)\/origin-imgresizer.tntsports.io\/2026\/02\/10\/image-2580dae6-8268-4ab5-ba13-d55ad79fef13-85-2560-1440.jpeg\" alt=\"photograph\" data-testid=\"image-high-res\"\/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"body-thumbnail-caption text-content-block-default-text-fill-03\" data-testid=\"body-thumbnail-caption\">\n<p class=\"typo-tk-rs-caption-xs\">Carrick &#8216;frustrated&#8217; by Manchester United&#8217;s lack of &#8216;spark&#8217; in West Ham draw<\/p>\n<p class=\"typo-tk-rs-caption-xs\">Video credit: TNT Sports<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cWe have played five games now and are at a very good level.
