Carrick remains Manchester United manager for Chelsea match

Michael Carrick keeps his job. Manchester United are not sacking him for now, and he will lead the team against Chelsea next weekend in the Premier League. Several media outlets, including BBC Sport, Sky Sports and The Independent, report this.

Carrick has retained the club's confidence despite the 3-0 defeat against Bournemouth on Sunday. The manager led his team's training session well, reports L'Équipe. The Daily Mail mentions a day of intense discussions before this decision.

An eighth match without a win

This defeat at Bournemouth has worsened a worrying run. Manchester United are now on an 8th match without a win in all competitions, highlights Maxifoot. The pressure on the coach has increased after this setback.

According to The Independent, Carrick seemed destined for the sack after this defeat. But he has survived and will therefore prepare for the visit of Chelsea. The Dutch daily De Telegraaf notes that the club is faltering but nevertheless maintains its faith in its manager.

Decisive talks on Monday

Technical director Jason Wilcox and chief executive Omar Berrada met on Monday, less than 24 hours after the setback against Bournemouth, reports The Independent. These discussions focused on Carrick's future. The board has chosen to give him another chance for the trip to Chelsea, states Bola na Rede.

Carrick will therefore be on the bench against the Blues. This match will be a new test for the manager, as his future remains dependent on results.
