The director of football and the chief executive decided Carrick should be given a chance to turn form and results around.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Carrick\u2019s side are in 17th with seven points, above the relegation only on goal difference.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">There remains a view within the hierarchy that Carrick can still transform fortunes, with United\u2019s travelling support still backing him at the end of the defeat at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Afterthe game the head coach indicated that he expects to still be in position for the Roma game. He said: \u201cWe\u2019ve got to move forward and win matches, it\u2019s as simple as that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes looks dejected after the 2-0 defeat at Chelsea.

The former Newcastle \u00admanager is open to taking up the position, \u00adsubject to negotiations. He would cost around \u00a33m in compensation to Newcastle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Julian Nagelsmann, the \u00adformer Germany and Bayern Munich head coach, is highly regarded by \u00adChristopher \u00adVivell, United\u2019s director of \u00adrecruitment, who is believed to have sounded out his fellow \u00adGerman. The pair previously worked together at RB Leipzig.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Michael Carrick is set to remain in charge of Manchester United for Tuesday\u2019s Champions League game against Roma&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":671681,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[61,60,112],"class_list":["post-671680","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/671680","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=671680"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/671680\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/671681"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=671680"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=671680"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=671680"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
