Manchester United keep Carrick for Chelsea after 8-match winless run
What's next: United back Carrick at least through Saturday's trip to Chelsea, with Roma and Aston Villa up next before the international break.
Manchester United will keep Michael Carrick in charge for Saturday's Premier League trip to Chelsea despite an eight-match winless run and a 3-0 home loss to Bournemouth that intensified pressure on the coach. Carrick led training Tuesday after talks at Carrington involving director of football Jason Wilcox and chief executive Omar Berrada. United have explored replacements, with Eddie Howe and Julian Nagelsmann among the names under consideration, but opted against an immediate change. The club sit just above the relegation zone after one league win in eight games. Carrick, appointed permanently in May after guiding United to third place last season, also faces upcoming matches against Roma in the Champions League and Aston Villa before the international break.
