Michael Carrick will remain Manchester United manager for Saturday’s trip to Chelsea, despite the club’s poor start to the season and an eight-match winless run, BBC Sport reports.
United’s 3-0 home defeat by Bournemouth on Sunday left them one place above the relegation zone and put Carrick’s position in doubt. The club’s hierarchy had explored replacing him, with former Newcastle manager Eddie Howe and ex-Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann among those considered, according to the BBC.
Carrick, 45, oversaw training on Tuesday and will be given the chance to turn the team’s form around. He signed a two-year deal with United last May.
