Despite Manchester United's 2-0 Champions League defeat at Atletico Madrid, manager Michael Carrick continues to receive backing from the club's hierarchy, according to The Athletic's David Ornstein. Carrick, who took interim control in January, led the team to a third-place league finish and qualification for the Champions League.
However, United's recent form has been disappointing, with the club currently in the bottom half of the Premier League table, earning only six points from six games. The Red Devils' poor performance continued on Tuesday when they suffered a defeat to Atletico Madrid for the first time this season. Pablo Barrios scored for Atletico in the first minute, and Ademola Lookman added another late in the game to secure a first European win for the Spanish club.
Despite the pressure mounting on Carrick, with United winless in their previous five matches across all competitions, there are currently no immediate plans to dismiss him.
