Michael Carrick will take charge of Manchester United's clash with Chelsea this weekend despite many predicting he would be sacked after two shocking defeats in a week.

Jackson draws comparisons to the summer of 2024, when Ineos retained Erik ten Hag and spent £172 million before dismissing him two months later. While Jackson criticizes Carrick's tactical decisions, he maintains that the squad's poor performances and conduct are the primary reasons for the dismal start.
