Carrick’s future had come under pressure following consecutive defeats by Como in the Champions League and Bournemouth in the Premier League. Manchester United lost 4-1 to Como before being beaten 3-0 by Bournemouth.

However, according to The Athletic, the club’s leadership has chosen not to dismiss Carrick and will allow him more time to improve the team’s situation.

Carrick’s side will face a demanding run of fixtures before the November international break. They are due to play Chelsea in the Premier League, Roma in the Champions League and Aston Villa in the Premier League.
