Michael Carrick remains in charge of Manchester United because the club’s leadership has yet to reach a final decision on his position, according to journalist Laurie Whitwell.
Carrick arrived at the club’s training base on the morning of 27 October and was expected to oversee the team’s session.
Manchester United’s hierarchy is continuing discussions about the head coach’s future, leaving Carrick in his role for now. No final decision has been made.
Manchester United will travel to face Chelsea on Saturday, 31 October. The Premier League match, part of the ninth round, is scheduled to begin at 15:30 Moscow time.
