Manchester United's manager, Michael Carrick, is under increasing pressure following his team's 2-0 defeat to Chelsea in the Premier League. The loss extended United's winless streak to nine games, marking their worst start to a season since 1986. Carrick confirmed he is not expecting to be sacked immediately but acknowledged the team's struggles.
The match at Stamford Bridge saw Lisandro Martinez sent off for a reckless elbow, further damaging United's prospects. Carrick's future remains uncertain as the club considers a potential sack decision. Reports suggest the decision could be made as early as Tuesday. Carrick has expressed confidence in his position despite the ongoing poor performance.
Carrick's tenure has been marked by a series of setbacks. The defeat to Chelsea followed a string of losses, with United's next five fixtures presenting significant challenges. Carrick's ability to turn the team's fortunes around will be closely watched. The pressure on the manager continues to mount as the season progresses.
