MANCHESTER UNITED: MICHAEL CARRICK HEAD COACH ON BRINK OF LOSING JOB AFTER BOURNEMOUTH DEFEAT
Michael Carrick’s position as Manchester United head coach has come under renewed scrutiny following Sunday’s 3–0 home defeat to Bournemouth.
The loss extended United’s winless run to eight matches across all competitions, adding to concerns about the team’s direction under his leadership.
Rayan, Marcus Tavernier and Evanilson scored for Bournemouth as United struggled to create clear opportunities at Old Trafford.
The result followed a 4–1 Champions League defeat to Como, leaving Carrick facing mounting pressure to deliver a turnaround.
His decision to start captain Bruno Fernandes on the bench also attracted attention after the midfielder publicly questioned United’s tactical approach in Italy.
Carrick had insisted before the Bournemouth match that his decisions would be guided by the club’s best interests.
However, another heavy defeat has intensified questions about whether he can restore confidence and improve performances.
There has been no confirmed announcement in the information available here that United have dismissed Carrick or made a final decision on his future.
