Manchester United are not yet ready to dismiss manager Michael Carrick, despite growing speculation over his future.
The club’s 4-1 defeat by Como in the Champions League has renewed claims that the Englishman’s departure is almost inevitable. However, according to The Touchline, Manchester United’s hierarchy have not ruled out the possibility of Carrick remaining in charge until the end of the current season.
Carrick’s position is understood to depend on an immediate improvement in results. He must guide the side to impressive performances in the next two or three matches if he is to retain his job.
Manchester United’s next fixture comes on Sunday, when they host Bournemouth in the eighth round of the Premier League.
