Michael Carrick makes Manchester United future admission as sack looms after Chelsea defeat

Michael Carrick insisted he will remain Manchester United manager despite facing mounting pressure following a 2-0 Premier League defeat to Chelsea on Sunday. The result extended United's winless streak to nine matches across all competitions. Carrick stated in his post-match comments that he expects to still be in charge for Tuesday's Champions League fixture against Roma, even as reports suggest he is on the verge of being sacked.

Chelsea secured the victory through goals from Morgan Rogers and Cole Palmer at Stamford Bridge. Manchester United played with ten men after Lisandro Martinez received a second yellow card for conceding a penalty on Wesley Fofana. Carrick defended Martinez after the match, denying that the defender had let the team down, while acknowledging the emotional frustration expressed by the travelling supporters.
