Michael Carrick has firmly rejected calls to resign as Manchester United head coach following Sunday's chaotic 4-4 draw with Aston Villa. The draw left the team in the relegation zone heading into the international break. Despite the pressure, Carrick dismissed suggestions he could step down for the good of the team.
The Star reports he will not walk away from his job. The Guardian also covered the tetchy exchange where Carrick was asked about resigning. The focus now shifts to the international window, with United looking to climb off the bottom three.
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace is reportedly considering Thomas Frank as a potential replacement for Pierre Sage if they decide to sack the manager. In rugby union, Steve Borthwick believes it will be impossible to shut Henry Pollock up after his two-try heroics off the wing for England.
