Why Manchester United Are Reportedly Keeping Carrick Despite Relegation Worries
Manchester United have reportedly decided not to sack Michael Carrick during the November international break, despite a poor start to the 2026/27 season. United are 18th after 10 league matches, with eight points and 19 goals conceded. They next face Liverpool at Anfield on November 22. A report from Sky Sports points to three reasons for the club’s decision. The players are said to remain behind Carrick, supporters continue to back him despite criticising the team’s performances, and the club’s hierarchy doubts that a change of manager would fix the squad’s wider problems. United’s recent results include a 3–2 Champions League win over AS Roma and a 4–4 league draw with Aston Villa. The team have conceded 30 goals across all competitions, leaving Carrick with plenty to address during the break.
