The hierarchy at Manchester United has made a decision regarding the future of head coach Michael Carrick following a disappointing away draw against Leeds at Elland Road.
The start to the season for the Red Devils has been far from ideal, currently languishing in 13th place in the Premier League with a mere seven points from seven matches.
Pressure is undeniably growing on Carrick, with reports emerging that Antonio Conte, recently departed from Napoli, would be willing to take charge at United. Furthermore, sporting director Jason Wilcox is said to be a keen admirer of Brighton's head coach, Fabian Hurzeler.
However, journalist Tyrone Marshall noted that despite the club's struggles, there remains a strong backing for Carrick from those within the club.
The last time United faced Leeds away, they drew 1-1, and the manager was sacked the following day.
Yet there is no chance that Carrick will meet the same fate, despite the eerie parallels.
This performance has demonstrated that the players are firmly behind their head coach.
Insider information confirms that the United hierarchy still views Carrick as the right man for the job and has no intention of dismissing him, even though the team has secured just two victories in their first ten matches across all competitions.
