Manchester United had reportedly planned to sack head coach Michael Carrick this week, but a failure to agree on his replacement has given him more time in the job.
Carrick’s position is understood to remain under serious pressure, with the club yet to settle on a successor. The delay has allowed him another stay of execution despite concerns over Manchester United’s form.
His reprieve follows the defeat by Bournemouth, after which supporters turned their anger towards the players rather than Carrick. Pundits Clinton Morrison and Darren Ambrose suggested that the reaction from the fans had helped keep the head coach in his position.
