## Key points

- United are 17th with seven points after nine games without a win.
- His future is expected to be reviewed during the international break.

## Summary

Michael Carrick is expected to remain Manchester United manager for Tuesday’s Champions League match against Roma, despite a 2-0 defeat by Chelsea. United have gone nine games without a win and sit 17th in the Premier League, leaving the club’s leadership under pressure to decide whether Carrick can reverse their poor form.

The club is expected to review his position during the international break, after United host Aston Villa next Sunday. Carrick narrowly avoided dismissal last Monday, when director of football Jason Wilcox and chief executive Omar Berrada chose to give him more time. Eddie Howe is understood to be Wilcox’s preferred replacement and would cost about £3m in compensation, while recruitment director Christopher Vivell rates former Germany and Bayern Munich coach Julian Nagelsmann highly.
