  "account": "Manchester United suffered a 2-0 defeat to Chelsea in the Premier League on Saturday, further jeopardizing the position of manager Michael Carrick. The loss came after a red card was shown to Lisandro Martinez, adding to the troubles of the struggling English club. Carrick, already facing immense pressure ahead of the match at Stamford Bridge, reinstated Bruno Fernandes to the starting lineup after dropping him last week. Since then, United has endured a nine-match winless run across all competitions, its longest streak without a victory since 1988. The team's only two wins in 13 matches this season were against promoted Ipswich in the Premier League and Champions League newcomers Sabah. With just one point separating United from the relegation zone, the club faces a dire situation that could see Carrick lose his job.",
