Chelsea defeat pushes Carrick closer to Man Utd exit
Morgan Rogers and Cole Palmer scored as the Blues won 2-0 at home against the Red Devils.
Michael Carrick's future as Manchester United boss hangs in the balance after a 2-0 defeat to Chelsea. The visitors squandered numerous chances to take the lead before Cole Palmer put them ahead on 50 minutes. Lisandro Martinez then received two yellow cards and a penalty, sealing the win for Chelsea. United manager Carrick, previously sacked following a previous loss, was left disappointed by his team's lack of ruthlessness.
Chelsea's Morgan Rogers capitalized on United's defensive errors to score the opening goal. Martinez's poor performance and Martinez's subsequent dismissal further damaged Carrick's position. The result leaves United just one point above the relegation zone and in danger of dropping to the bottom three.
