Michael Carrick fights on as Man United manager after surviving crisis talks

Manchester United manager Michael Carrick has retained his position following crisis talks on Monday, October 26, 2026, less than 24 hours after a heavy 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth. Technical director Jason Wilcox and CEO Omar Berrada held a meeting to discuss Carrick's future before deciding he would remain in charge. The decision means Carrick survives what appeared to be a serious threat to his tenure at Old Trafford.
