Carrick to Remain at Man United for at Least the Weekend

Carrick gets a chance to end United’s worst league start in 40 years after the club chose not to sack him, sources said.

  • Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick will remain in charge for Saturday's trip to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge after club officials decided against sacking him despite mounting pressure.
  • Carrick's position appeared precarious after Sunday's 3-0 defeat by Bournemouth left his side 16th in the table and extended their winless run to eight matches in all competitions.
  • Former Manchester United star Wayne Rooney claimed the players need a "firework up their arses" and feel "absolutely a million miles away" from challenging in the Premier League again.
  • Despite the team's worst start in 40 years, Carrick retains overwhelming fan support, while supporters directed fury at the Glazers, Ratcliffe, and Wilcox following the Bournemouth loss.
  • The 45-year-old manager oversaw training at Carrington on Tuesday as the squad prepares for Chelsea, with a free week ahead after their Carabao Cup exit to Brighton.
