Desperate Man U still back Carrick and have had no contact with big name manager ready for new role

Manchester United are reportedly continuing to back manager Michael Carrick despite a slow start to the season. Pressure has mounted on Carrick following a draw against Fulham, which was secured by a late Matheus Cunha goal. Despite rumors linking the club to former Chelsea manager Antonio Conte, reports indicate there has been no contact between United and the Italian coach.

Conte is currently available and has been linked to the role due to his successful track record and reputation as a disciplinarian. While his fiery personality previously deterred Manchester United's owners, the club's current struggles have kept his name in media speculation, though the board currently maintains its support for Carrick.
