Manchester United have decided to stick with manager Michael Carrick despite a run of poor results, including a 4-1 loss to Bournemouth and a heavy defeat to Roma. The club believe removing him after one bad game would be reactive, and have opted to give him the chance to turn things around. Carrick will remain in charge for the trip to Chelsea, with United 16th in the Premier League.
The decision comes after captain Bruno Fernandes publicly questioned tactics and squad investment, and defender Lisandro Martinez criticised the club's technical direction. Despite internal tension and fan anger, United hierarchy see calmness as necessary amid turbulence. A final decision on Carrick's future may come after the international break, following key fixtures against Chelsea, Roma and Aston Villa.
