Manchester United decides against sacking Michael Carrick after Tottenham match
Summary

Manchester United has opted not to dismiss Michael Carrick following a disappointing draw against Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford. The match saw United take the lead with a goal from Bryan Mbeumo, but they conceded a late equalizer from Dominic Solanke in stoppage time. The result leaves United in 12th place in the Premier League, with just six points from their first six matches, marking the worst start to a top-flight season in 40 years. Carrick acknowledged the need for improvement, and despite growing speculation about his future, co-owners INEOS currently support him. The pressure mounts as United prepares to face Atletico Madrid next.
