Man United make Carrick decision ahead of three-week international break

Manchester United are reportedly not planning to sack head coach Michael Carrick during the upcoming three-week international break. Despite a poor start to the 2026-27 season, the club's hierarchy is expected to give Carrick time to find tactical solutions. United have taken only five points from their opening five Premier League matches and were recently knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Brighton.

Director of football Jason Wilcox is reportedly advocating for stability, meaning Carrick is expected to remain in charge for the home match against Tottenham on October 10. While Carrick guided the club into the Champions League last season, recent performances, including a 1-1 draw against Fulham, have raised concerns over midfield balance and tactical cohesion.
