Manchester United manager Michael Carrick remains in his role despite a dismal start to the 2026-27 season. The club has struggled, collecting only four points from four Premier League matches and suffering three consecutive defeats in six games. Carrick's position is now under scrutiny following a Carabao Cup exit, which saw United lose to Brighton.

Supporters have shown frustration, with boos echoing at Old Trafford after the cup defeat. Carrick has acknowledged the discontent, taking responsibility for the loss. However, the club's management has not yet decided to replace him, though his future remains uncertain.

Several potential replacements have been linked, including Antonio Conte, Kieran McKenna, and Oliver Glasner. Carrick, however, continues to receive backing from the club's hierarchy, despite the mounting pressure.

The team faces a crucial match against Fulham, with hopes of turning their season around. Carrick's ability to stabilize the squad will be key in determining his fate.
