Manchester United considers future of Michael Carrick after Chelsea defeat

Summary

Manchester United dropped into the relegation zone following a 2-0 defeat at Chelsea. The club is level on points with Crystal Palace and has only one win in nine Premier League games, putting pressure on manager Michael Carrick. Despite this, Carrick is expected to remain in charge for an upcoming Champions League match against AS Roma. United's hierarchy reportedly aims to wait until the November international break before making any decisive changes, amidst speculation linking potential replacements such as Eddie Howe and Julian Nagelsmann.
