Michael Carrick may be out of time already after Manchester United's week from hell
Last season's feel-good factor under Michael Carrick is a rapidly fading memory at Manchester United after a nightmare start to the 2026-27 season.
Michael Carrick may be out of time already after Manchester United's week from hell, according to recent reports. Since Sir Alex Ferguson left Old Trafford 13 years ago, United has a habit of shooting themselves in the foot, particularly in the past four days. Carrick, who led the team back to the Champions League after Ruben Amorim's tenure, has been under pressure recently due to a string of underwhelming performances.
The team's struggles were evident in both the Manchester derby and a Carabao Cup match against Brighton, where they lost 1-0 and 3-2, respectively. Fans were disappointed as Carrick seemed unable to find a solution to the team's defensive issues. The club's problems extend beyond Carrick's control, as United's board has not provided him with a capable squad to compete on all fronts.
