Manchester United has decided to move forward with Michael Carrick, at least for the time being. Despite the team's difficulties, the Red Devils ' owners have reportedly chosen to retain the former English midfielder as coach of the club. This trust, however, could be very short-lived, given the British club's upcoming commitments and the management's assessment of the team's performance.
According to Sky Sports UK , Carrick will be on the bench for the next league match against Chelsea, scheduled for this weekend. The English club has therefore decided to give the manager another opportunity, without making an immediate change in management. The result of the match against the Blues could, however, have a significant impact on the management's decisions, as they evaluate the continuity of the coaching project.
Carrick is playing his all against Chelsea: Roma are watching
Another misstep could seriously jeopardize Carrick's tenure as Manchester United coach. If the result against Chelsea is negative, the management could consider dismissing him before the next European fixture. This situation also directly affects Roma, who travel to England on November 3rd for the Champions League match at Old Trafford, scheduled for 9:00 PM (8:00 PM local time).
The match against the Giallorossi therefore risks coming at a particularly delicate time for Manchester United. It's not out of the question that the Red Devils could face Roma with a new manager, should the owners decide to end their relationship with Carrick early. For now, however, the English coach remains in his position: the performance against Chelsea will provide further information on his future and the situation of United's management.
