Carrick shrugs off Man Utd’s sack talk as he prepares for Roma match

Manchester United are just one place above the Premier League relegation zone after taking a mere seven points from their nine matches so far this season.

Carrick shrugs off Man Utd’s sack talk as he prepares for Roma match

Manchester United manager Michael Carrick dismissed speculation that he will be sacked after the club's poor form, ahead of Tuesday's Champions League match against Roma. Carrick, who has been in charge for his first full season, revealed he is "actually really looking forward to the game" despite their underwhelming results. The club is struggling, sitting 20th in the Premier League and 20th in the Champions League after nine matches, with only 7 points.

Carrick emphasized that the players' commitment to the team is strong and that they need to improve their performance. He also defended Lisandro Martinez, who was sent off against Chelsea. Carrick recalled a positive memory of playing against Roma for United in 2007, when he scored twice in a 7-1 win, describing it as one of the best nights of his career.
