Carrick unsure over Man Utd future after Bournemouth loss
MANCHESTER: Michael Carrick said he will do what is best for Manchester United after a 3-0 demolition by Bournemouth plunged his future as manager into doubt on Sunday.
Michael Carrick, the manager of Manchester United, expressed uncertainty about his future following a 3-0 loss to Bournemouth on Sunday. The team's winless streak of eight games in all competitions saw them slip within one point of the relegation zone. Carrick, speaking to Sky Sports, admitted that the situation was challenging and that he would do what was best for the club.
He reiterated his commitment to Manchester United and his love for the responsibility but acknowledged that the club's decline since Alex Ferguson's retirement as manager in 2013 has been disappointing. Carrick's decision not to start Bruno Fernandes, who had criticized his tactics, backfired as Fernandes was left on the bench for the entire match.
The fans largely supported Carrick during the post-match press conference, but the disappointing results raised questions about his future as manager.
