Michael Carrick managed to keep his job, despite Manchester United’s new rout this weekend. Four days after falling very heavily to Como in the Champions League (4-1), the English club lost in the Premier League against Bournemouth (3-0) and occupies 16th place with only one small victory. He will still be on the bench for the complicated trip to Stamford Bridge against Chelsea on Saturday (1:30 p.m.) and undoubtedly with Bruno Fernandes in the group.
The captain and his coach had a discussion this Tuesday at the training center, after the tensions of recent days. According to Sky Sportsthey smoothed things over and promised to put their differences aside to focus on the team. The Portuguese remained on the bench against the Cherries, after criticizing his coach’s tactical choices following the Como match. It is unclear whether he will apologize publicly.
