No axe yet for Carrick despite United’s ninth game without a win

Michael Carrick expects to retain his position as Manchester United's manager for their Champions League match against Roma, despite a nine-match winless streak following a 2-0 loss to Chelsea. The United hierarchy showed mercy after a 3-0 home defeat to Bournemouth last weekend, when many had anticipated Carrick's removal. While United showed improvement in the first half against Chelsea, they failed to capitalize on numerous scoring opportunities.

Morgan Rogers opened the scoring in the second half, but Lisandro Martinez received two yellow cards and conceded a penalty, which Cole Palmer converted to seal the victory. Carrick expressed confidence in the team's performance and urged them to build on their strengths moving forward. Manchester United now finds themselves just one point above the relegation zone and vulnerable to dropping into the bottom three by the end of the weekend.
