Man United Manager Carrick to Keep Job for Next Premier League Game at Chelsea
United will give Carrick a chance to reverse a nine-match winless run after crisis talks with club chiefs and owners, sources said.
- On Saturday, Manchester United suffered a 2-0 defeat at Chelsea, extending their winless run to nine games in all competitions and intensifying pressure on embattled manager Michael Carrick.
- United's board retained Carrick despite a 3-0 home loss to Bournemouth last weekend and a 4-1 Champions League drubbing at Como. This ninth consecutive winless match leaves the manager facing mounting scrutiny.
- Defender Lisandro Martinez was sent off in the 63rd minute for a reckless challenge on Wesley Fofana, conceding a penalty. Cole Palmer converted the spot-kick to seal Chelsea's victory.
- The defeat leaves United in 16th place, just one point above the Premier League relegation zone. Upcoming fixtures against Aston Villa and Liverpool pose critical tests for the 20-time English champions.
- Elsewhere, league leaders Manchester City also suffered a 1-0 home defeat against Brighton & Hove Albion. Arsenal can move top with a draw or win at Liverpool on Sunday.
