Manchester United have decided to continue with Michael Carrick as head coach, according to Fabrizio Romano, despite recent defeats against Bournemouth and Como.
The club’s hierarchy has reportedly opted to give Carrick more time to turn results around, with the players also informed of the decision.
Carrick to remain in charge against Chelsea
United’s next fixture is away to Chelsea on Saturday, and Romano reports that Carrick will be in the dugout.
The decision offers clarity over his immediate position following the two defeats. However, the report does not specify how long United’s backing extends beyond the upcoming match.
For now, the club have chosen to give their current coach the opportunity to address the team’s difficulties rather than make an immediate change.
Roma visit Manchester United next week
The development is relevant to Roma, who are scheduled to visit Manchester United in the Champions League on Tuesday, November 3.
The Giallorossi therefore face a United side whose leadership has opted for continuity ahead of an important run of fixtures.
Romano’s update confirms that Carrick is staying for the Chelsea match, although it should not be interpreted as a separate guarantee about his position for every subsequent fixture.
For Gasperini’s side, the trip to Manchester remains a significant European test, with United looking to respond to their recent setbacks.
