Man United approaching a crossroads: Back Carrick, or move on?

Michael Carrick remains Manchester United manager on a precarious footing after the team secured a Champions League comeback win over Roma, ending a nine-game winless run. A United source told ESPN that 'a break' in the cycle is needed, as the current situation cannot continue indefinitely. The upcoming Premier League home fixture against Aston Villa on Sunday is seen as a critical juncture, with defeat potentially leaving United bottom of the table heading into a two-week international break.
