Ornstein explains why Man United decided to keep Michael Carrick

United gave Carrick more time after a nine-match winless run, with a comeback over Roma easing immediate pressure, Reuters reported.

  • On Tuesday, Man United manager Michael Carrick secured a dramatic 3-2 comeback victory over Roma at Old Trafford, offering the under-pressure head coach much-needed breathing room.
  • Carrick faced serious scrutiny following a poor run of results, including a damaging 4-1 Champions League defeat to Como and a 3-0 home loss against Bournemouth.
  • Chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox retained Carrick after sensing a shift in attitude inside Carrington during the international break.
  • United remain perilously above the relegation zone in the Premier League, with only one win in the top flight this season as they face Aston Villa on Sunday.
  • Club officials have contingency plans, with Eddie Howe and Julian Nagelsmann linked as potential successors, while target Unai Emery nears a new contract at Aston Villa.
