Ornstein explains why Man United decided to keep Michael Carrick
The club wants more time to assess Carrick after a nine-match winless run, with a contingency plan in place if results do not improve.
- On Tuesday, Man United head coach Michael Carrick secured a 3-2 comeback victory against Roma at Old Trafford, providing the under-pressure manager with significant breathing room amid ongoing scrutiny.
- Carrick faced potential dismissal following a nine-game winless streak, including a 4-1 Champions League defeat to Como and 3-0 loss against Bournemouth, which left his tenure on the brink.
- United currently sits 17th in the Premier League with just one win all season, leaving the team perilously above the relegation zone ahead of Sunday's match.
- While Julian Nagelsmann, Eddie Howe, and Antonio Conte are linked to the job, the club is unlikely to appoint Unai Emery, who is nearing a new contract with Aston Villa.
- Club hierarchy members retain support for Carrick at Carrington, as analyst Ornstein noted on The Athletic podcast that changing managers again would fail to address deeper performance problems.
