From the source
Michael Carrick is set to stay on as Manchester United head coach. When Michael Carrick left the pitch after Manchester United’s 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth, it appeared he was heading for the sack.
He could offer no assurances over his own future. Monday came and went without a decision, and BBC Sport has now reported that Carrick is set to stay on as head coach for United’s next match against Chelsea.
I love the principle behind sticking with the manager and giving him time to turn the situation around. Carrick is a manager who United committed to back in May, appointing him as permanent manager.
