But the BBC, Sky Sports and Britain\u2019s Press Association all reported that former United and England midfielder Carrick would take the team to Stamford Bridge on Saturday. <\/p>\n
Carrick arrived at United\u2019s Carrington training ground on Tuesday to oversee a routine training session.<\/p>\n
The BBC cited \u201csources\u201d as saying the 45-year-old would be given a chance by the United hierarchy to turn things around.<\/p>\n
Carrick was handed a two-year deal in May after overseeing an impressive revival as caretaker boss following United\u2019s struggles under Ruben Amorim. <\/p>\n
The club recovered to finish third in the Premier League, earning a return to the Champions League.<\/p>\n
But United have won just two of 12 matches in all competitions so far this season, with a return of seven points from eight league games representing their worst start to a league season in 40 years. <\/p>\n

Carrick avoided directly answering questions about his future following the Bournemouth loss.<\/p>\n
The United boss acknowledged the crowd at full-time as fans chanted his name in a show of support for the beleaguered manager, but they vented their anger at the players and club hierarchy. <\/p>\n
United great Wayne Rooney, who played alongside Carrick at Old Trafford, took aim at the players following a string of poor performances. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe players haven\u2019t got a leg to stand on. What\u2019s not fair is the performances they are giving,\u201d Rooney said on the Stick to United podcast.<\/p>\n
\u201cI looked at the fans, you could see the pain and anger in their faces when those players are walking around the football pitch. You see [Lisandro] Mart\u00ednez when Rayan ran round him, they are not getting to the ball, it\u2019s so frustrating.<\/p>\n
\u201cI could score a goal, had ability or whatever, at least I f—ing ran and put myself about as a team. These players are not doing that.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would love to go in that dressing room and say, \u2018What the f— are you all doing? What type of performances do you think this is? Do you think you deserve to wear the shirt?\u2019 Put a f—ing firework up their a—s because they are not doing anything.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are seeing players who are numb, look like they have got no emotion, look like they don\u2019t care. Some of them might care, some good lads who are getting dragged down. It is so frustrating to watch.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, fellow legend Gary Neville was shocked Carrick remained at the helm.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m happy. I\u2019m surprised but I\u2019m happy because I was absolutely certain what I witnessed on Sunday would be the end of Michael,\u201d Neville told Sky Sports News.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt looked like when he was walking around at the end on his own, with his players behind him, that it was a goodbye lap.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was waving to the fans in an almost apologetic manner but also as a goodbye. I am surprised that ultimately still in a job, but I\u2019m happy with it because it was very difficult on Sunday. <\/p>\n
\u201cHow it\u2019s going to go over the next couple of weeks, I have no idea. I hope he can get those players playing for him because they haven\u2019t played for him in the last few weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, even if Carrick is sacked, United great Ashley Young posed a big question: \u201cWhat manager is going to come in and say \u2018I want to work with this squad?\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFor me, the players need to be better, but how many different windows are you going to need to get those players in?\u201d Young explained on the Overlap Daily.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat manager is going to come in and say, \u2018I want to work with this squad\u2019? For me, the best manager in the world, Luis Enrique, would look at Manchester United now, look at that squad and say, \u2018I\u2019m not touching that. I\u2019m not going there\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cMost managers in the world have seen Manchester United as one of the biggest clubs in the world for years, and at the drop of a hat would have gone to be the manager. Now, I don\u2019t believe that\u2019s the way.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Michael Carrick is set to remain in charge of Manchester United for this weekend\u2019s Premier League match away…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":943157,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":["post-943156","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-football","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/943156","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=943156"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/943156\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/943157"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=943156"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=943156"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=943156"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
