BREAKING: Michael Carrick to Remain in Charge of Manchester United for Sunday's Game with Bournemouth
United are treating Carrick’s position as business as usual after a 4-1 Champions League loss, with replacements already being identified.
Manchester United will keep head coach Michael Carrick in charge for Sunday's Premier League match against Bournemouth, with club sources describing the situation as "business as usual."
Mounting pressure follows Wednesday's 4-1 Champions League defeat to Como, which marked United's heaviest European loss since 1994 and their worst league start in 40 years, leaving them 13th in the Premier League.
Captain Bruno Fernandes publicly questioned Carrick's tactics after the defeat, saying "it's a decision from the staff to not press man to man," while Carrick responded he was "angry" and accepted "one hundred per cent responsibility."
Carrick is scheduled to hold a pre-match press conference at Carrington on Friday at 1:30pm, confirming the club's intent to stand by their coach for the upcoming match against the Cherries.
United faces a difficult run including Chelsea, Roma, and Aston Villa before an international break, while reports suggest potential successors such as Julian Nagelsmann and Antonio Conte have been identified by the club.
