Manchester United are not planning to make a hasty decision over manager Michael Carrick’s future despite the team’s poor run of results and their fall into the relegation zone after a 4-4 draw with Aston Villa, according to an exclusive report by Sky Sports.
The club’s hierarchy is understood to have identified three reasons for delaying any decision on Carrick.
The first is that supporters are not calling for the manager to be dismissed. Carrick continues to retain the backing of the Manchester United fanbase.
Club officials also believe the coaching staff still have the support of the dressing room. Players have continued to fight for results and maintain their effort on the pitch, despite the team’s difficult run.
The third consideration is uncertainty over whether changing the manager would resolve the problems currently affecting the club.
Manchester United’s leadership plans to reassess the team’s position during the international break and consider the options available.
The club have won only one of their past 11 matches and have conceded 30 goals in all competitions. That is more than any other side from Europe’s five major leagues.
Manchester United are also enduring the worst start to a season in their history in the Premier League.
