Manchester United retain Michael Carrick after 3-0 defeat

Manchester United have decided to retain Michael Carrick as coach despite the 3-0 defeat by Bournemouth in the Premier League. The club’s management is giving him more time to turn the team around, according to British newspaper The Telegraph.

Manchester United have decided to retain their head coach, Michael Carrick, despite the 3-0 home defeat by Bournemouth in the Premier League. The decision was taken on Monday at a meeting of the club’s management, the British newspaper The Telegraph reported, as cited by the Daily Post.

Sunday’s defeat had placed Carrick’s future under severe pressure and left Manchester United without a win in seven matches. The club had previously considered Eddie Howe, Julian Nagelsmann and Antonio Conte as potential successors, but the management ultimately chose to give him more time to turn the team around.

The decision comes after Manchester United’s 3-0 defeat by Bournemouth on 25 October 2026, followed by reports naming Howe, Nagelsmann and Conte as possible replacements, published on 26 October.
