United Manager Carrick Rejects Talk of Future After Three Poor Results
WHY IT MATTERS
Carrick’s stance signals stability for United’s leadership, allowing the club to concentrate on the forthcoming Fulham match without distraction from managerial uncertainty.
What happened
Manchester United coach Michael Carrick dismissed speculation about his job security after a string of three disappointing matches. He said it would be "ridiculous" to start thinking about how long he has left in the role following the club’s recent poor week.
The most recent setback came in a home defeat to Manchester City, when United were reduced to 10 men after 23 minutes and lost the match. Carrick confirmed that he will remain in charge for the upcoming fixture against Fulham on Sunday.
His remarks come as United look to steady the ship after a series of unsatisfactory results and focus on the next game.
