Carrick given more time by Man Utd after 3-0 Bournemouth home defeat

📰 Manchester United have decided to stick with Michael Carrick for now after a 3-0 home defeat by Bournemouth. 📌 Key points 💥 United were beaten 3-0 at Old Trafford by Bournemouth. 📉 Eight without a win; seven league points is their worst start in 40 years. 🪑 Captain Bruno Fernandes, who questioned the tactics, stayed on the bench. 🏢 The hierarchy agreed on 26 October to give Carrick more time. ✈️ Carrick will take charge at Stamford Bridge on 31 October. 📝 What happened 💥 Rayan scored on 38 minutes and Marcus Tavernier on 43 after Leny Yoro slipped, before Evanilson added a third after the break. Boos rang out at half-time and full-time. 🪑 Carrick benched Fernandes, who had criticised his tactics after the 4-1 defeat at Como, and the captain did not play a minute. Carrick called it a "pure football" decision. The Analyst says it was the first time he had left Fernandes out of a top-flight starting XI. 📺 On 26 October Sky Sports reported that insiders expected Carrick to go, naming Eddie Howe and Julian Nagelsmann as frontrunners. Gary Neville predicted a sacking and Jamie Carragher said it should happen "tonight". 🏢 But according to The Athletic, a meeting that day involving co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, CEO Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox agreed to give the manager and players more time.

The trip to Chelsea on 31 October could decide his future again. "We haven't been good enough," he admitted.
