Manchester United, Michael Carrick, Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox
27 October 2026
Manchester United have confirmed that Michael Carrick will remain in charge for Saturday’s Premier League match against Chelsea despite eight consecutive matches without a win. The decision follows discussions among senior officials after Sunday’s 3-0 home defeat to Bournemouth.
Carrick returned to Carrington on Tuesday and conducted first-team training as normal. United’s leadership reportedly believes the players share responsibility for the club’s poor performances and wants to give Carrick an opportunity to improve results. Eddie Howe, Julian Nagelsmann and Antonio Conte remain potential replacements, but no managerial change has been approved. The next international break could offer another opportunity to review Carrick’s position.
