  "account": "Manchester United manager Michael Carrick faces potential dismissal following a 2-0 defeat to Chelsea on Saturday. The visitors squandered numerous chances to take the lead before Morgan Rogers scored in the 50th minute. Lisandro Martinez compounded United's woes with two quick red cards, the second of which led to a penalty converted by Cole Palmer. United now sit just one point above the relegation zone and risk sliding into the bottom three. Despite the loss, Carrick expects to retain his position for the upcoming Champions League match against Roma. The performance was far from ideal, with United looking strong at halftime and then unraveling in the second half. Captain Bruno Fernandes missed an opportunity to open the scoring, while striker Amad Diallo was denied by Chelsea's goalkeeper Mike Penders. Carrick expressed his frustration during a post-match interview.",
  "summary": "LONDON: Michael Carrick’s stay of execution as Manchester United boss may not last long after his team imploded in a 2-0 Premier League loss at Chelsea on Saturday.",
