Manchester United manager Michael Carrick has acknowledged the mounting uncertainty surrounding his position following a crushing 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth at Old Trafford on Sunday, October 25.
The loss leaves the Red Devils enduring their worst start to a league campaign in modern history, having accumulated just 7 points from their opening 8 Premier League matches. First-half strikes from Rayan and Marcus Tavernier, followed by Evanilson’s second-half finish, sealed a dominant away victory for the Cherries and intensified calls for a managerial change.
“I totally understand the situation. I’m not expecting anything in particular, to be honest. I’m carrying on as normal, and I love this place… I’ll always do what’s best for this football club. I love what I do. I love the responsibility, but we’ll have to wait and see.” – Michael Carrick
