Michael Carrick Fighting to Save His Job as Man Utd Hierarchy Reach Sack Decision Ahead of Bournemouth Clash
Following a 4-1 defeat to Como that extended their winless run to seven matches, club hierarchy is evaluating potential replacements for manager Michael Carrick, sources confirmed.
On Friday, Manchester United manager Michael Carrick expressed "100 per cent" confidence he can reverse the team's slump, though he refused to confirm whether Bruno Fernandes will remain club captain.
The 45-year-old manager faces mounting pressure after Wednesday's 4-1 Champions League defeat at Como extended United's winless run to seven matches, prompting Fernandes to publicly question the team's passive tactics.
Currently sitting 13th in the Premier League, United has secured only two victories in 11 matches this season; meanwhile, Carrick confirmed the club is providing support to Fernandes after his family home was burgled.
Carrick will lead United during Sunday's home match against Bournemouth, stating that "discussions are going on" to ensure the squad is well-organized for the performance.
Appointed just five months ago, Carrick is the latest manager struggling to restore the 20-time English champions' former glory; observers suggest Sunday's fixture may prove a stay of execution.
