Manchester United's manager Michael Carrick is set to lead the team against Chelsea on Saturday, despite previous reports of his potential replacement by Eddie Howe. The decision to keep Carrick was reportedly influenced by compensation payments and a lack of clarity behind the scenes. INEOS chose not to make a change after Carrick took training as usual on Tuesday.

The club's struggles are attributed not only to Carrick but also to other senior staff, including Jason Wilcox, the director of football, and Omar Berrada, the CEO. Wilcox has faced criticism for managerial decisions and transfer failings, while Berrada, a hire from Manchester City, is also seen as being partly responsible for the team's poor performance.

Sources suggest that Sir Jim Ratcliffe may consider a wider overhaul of senior staff, potentially affecting Wilcox and Berrada. While there is sympathy for Wilcox due to the significant funds provided by Ratcliffe for transfers, others believe his future is uncertain, especially if there is another managerial change.
