Michael Carrick conceded his Manchester United side deserved to suffer their first defeat of his second spell as interim manager after William Osula’s 90th-minute strike condemned them to a 2-1 loss at Newcastle United. United had gone seven games unbeaten since Carrick took charge in January, and they appeared in an excellent position to extend that run when Newcastle midfielder Jacob Ramsey was controversially sent off late in the first half, receiving a second yellow for simulation. But moments after his dismissal, Newcastle took the lead as Anthony Gordon went down under a challenge from Bruno Fernandes and then converted…
