Man Utd keep Carrick as manager after Como humiliation
Man Utd keep Carrick as manager after Como loss

Michael Carrick will remain as Manchester United manager for Sunday's Premier League match against Bournemouth, despite overseeing a humiliating 4-1 Champions League defeat to Como on Wednesday night.

The Old Trafford hierarchy have decided not to sack Carrick before the Cherries' visit, and he is set to hold a press conference on Friday ahead of the fixture.

Poor Run of Form

United have won just twice in 11 games in all competitions this season, with the defeat to Como adding to the pressure on the manager.

Carrick criticised his players' effort during the Champions League loss and was involved in a public disagreement with captain Bruno Fernandes.

Next Steps

Carrick will be afforded the opportunity to continue in his role, at least for now, with the club yet to make a final decision on his long-term future.
