When will the luster return to the Red Devils?
Michael Carrick will continue to lead Manchester United in their upcoming Premier League clash against Chelsea this Saturday.
Sources have revealed to the BBC that Carrick—who is 45 years old—will be given the chance to get the team back on track at Old Trafford, following a disastrous start to the season.
Carrick oversaw Manchester United’s training session on Tuesday morning as the team prepares to face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday—a match they hope will end a winless streak of eight consecutive games across all competitions.
A heavy 0–3 defeat to Bournemouth at Old Trafford last Sunday has cast doubt over Carrick’s future, with Manchester United currently sitting in 17th place—just one spot above the relegation zone.
Reports suggest that the Manchester United board had considered dismissing Carrick and bringing in a new manager, with former Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe and former Germany national team head coach Julian Nagelsmann among the potential candidates.
However, sources have confirmed to the BBC that the former Middlesbrough manager will remain in charge for the match against Chelsea, and will be given an opportunity to improve the team’s results and restore their form.
