Michael Carrick won’t be sacked… for now!
Although his dismissal had been expected since Monday, Manchester United’s hierarchy have decided to give their manager a reprieve, according to several British media outlets, including the BBC, The Athletic and the Daily Mail.
Carrick, the club’s former midfield icon, will have a chance to turn things around before the axe falls, despite a litany of damning circumstances: two heavy defeats in four days against Bournemouth and Como, a dismal 16th place in the Premier League and a captain, Bruno Fernandes, who has publicly questioned his tactical decisions.
Manchester United will travel to Stamford Bridge next Saturday to face Chelsea in Matchweek 9 of the Premier League. A crucial fixture for Carrick.
