“Let’s not kid ourselves”: David Ornstein outlines key factors that prompted Man United to stick with Carrick
Story updated
The story in brief
5-second readDavid Ornstein has explained why Manchester United kept Michael Carrick as manager despite a poor run of results this season.

From the source
Manchester United manager Michael Carrick masterminded a 3-2 comeback win over AS Roma in the Champions League in midweek. However, his future at Old Trafford remains up in the air.
The Englishman was handed the full-time job at the end of last season following a fruitful caretaker spell during which he led the team to third place in the Premier League.
Unfortunately, Carrick appears to have lost his Midas touch this campaign, with the Red Devils languishing in 17th place in the league after nine games.
