Michael Carrick Stays at Manchester United for Roma Match

Michael Carrick is keeping his job for Tuesday's Champions League match against Roma despite Saturday's two-nil loss at Chelsea. That defeat leaves United sitting seventeenth in the table with just seven points. They are only above the relegation zone on goal difference. It is their worst start to a season since nineteen eighty-eight. The forty-five-year-old nearly lost his job last Monday when Jason Wilcox and Omar Berrada met to discuss his future. They decided to give him a chance to turn things around. The club will review his position again during the upcoming international break. Meanwhile, Eddie Howe is already the preferred candidate if Carrick gets sacked. Howe would cost about three million pounds in compensation to Newcastle. Julian Nagelsmann is also on the radar of recruitment director Christopher Vivell. Carrick insists his team must simply move forward and win matches.
