Michael Carrick will continue as Manchester United manager for Saturday's away match against Chelsea. The INEOS hierarchy has decided to give him another chance to turn things around.
After last Sunday’s disappointing 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth, fans voiced their discontent by booing the players, whilst still applauding Carrick at Old Trafford. One player, speaking anonymously, reflected on the mood in the dressing room.
There’s a sense that we all want to put things right. The players, the staff, everyone.
According to reports from ESPN, it was this support from the fans that has influenced the decision to keep Carrick at the helm. However, further losses against Chelsea, Roma, and Aston Villa could see him dismissed before the international break in November.
The Red Devils are currently on an eight-match winless streak, surpassing their previous seven-match run without a victory under Louis van Gaal in December 2015.
Potential candidates to replace Carrick include Eddie Howe and Julian Nagelsmann, while Antonio Conte is being considered as a backup option.
