Michael Carrick will stay in charge of Manchester United for now and lead the team against Chelsea on Saturday, despite an eight-match winless run that has left the club 16th in the Premier League.
The club’s decision follows Sunday’s 3-0 home defeat by Bournemouth, which fuelled speculation that Carrick could be dismissed. He led training on Tuesday. BBC Sport reported that United had considered replacement options, but that the 45-year-old would be given the chance to improve the team’s results.
Carrick took over in January after Ruben Amorim was dismissed and guided United to third place. He signed a two-year contract in May. The club’s next test is Saturday’s away match at Chelsea.
