Michael Carrick has been given a stay of execution by Manchester United, with the club deciding to keep him in charge for Saturday's Premier League game against Chelsea.
Carrick had been widely expected to be sacked following the 3-0 defeat by Bournemouth at Old Trafford on Sunday. However, he survived crisis talks at Carrington on Monday and took training as usual on Tuesday ahead of the weekend fixture.
Poor run of form
United have won just two of their 12 matches in all competitions this season. They sit 16th in the Premier League, having taken only seven points from eight games - the club's worst start since 1986/87.
The club have considered replacements, including Eddie Howe, Julian Nagelsmann and Antonio Conte, but have decided to stick rather than twist for now.
Next steps
More updates on this breaking news story are expected, with further details to follow.
