Source context
Manchester United’s season plunged to new depths yesterday as they were soundly defeated 4-1 by Como in northern Italy in the Champions League. Michael Carrick’s side are now seven matches without a win and sit 13th in the Premier League and 20th in the Champions League table as things currently stand. They have also been eliminated from the League Cup after a 2-3 defeat to Brighton and Hove Albion, having squandered a 2-0 lead. As a result, Michael Carrick’s position as manager is looking increasingly untenable. There have been numerous managers linked to the job, with big names such as Antonio Conte, Julian Nagelsmann and Eddie Howe all currently available to take over the club.
