Manchester United ‘reach agreement’ over Michael Carrick sack decision

Manchester United chiefs have reportedly agreed to keep Michael Carrick as head coach for the next two games before reassessing his position during the November international break. Carrick remains under intense pressure after a 2-0 defeat to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge stretched the club's winless run to nine matches in all competitions. Morgan Rogers and Cole Palmer scored for Chelsea following a Lisandro Martinez red card.

Club leaders, including chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox, previously held crisis talks and considered potential replacements. United will evaluate the managerial situation following upcoming fixtures against Roma in the Champions League and Aston Villa in the Premier League.
