Michael Carrick is under pressure after Manchester United’s eighth consecutive match without a win ended in a 3-0 defeat by Bournemouth at Old Trafford. The run has prompted questions about his future, while the club owners’ problems appear deeper, according to The Ghana Report.

Manchester United have gone eight matches without a win after losing 3-0 at home to Bournemouth in the Premier League, The Ghana Report says. The result weakens the position of Michael Carrick, the club’s manager, as supporters question his future at Old Trafford.

The defeat by Bournemouth on 25 October has fuelled doubts about Carrick continuing in the role, according to the outlet. It adds to the losses already reported against Bournemouth and Manchester United’s run of eight matches without a win.
