Fabrizio Romano Drops Update on Carrick's Future at Man Utd

· GiveMeSport

Fabrizio Romano reveals the latest on Michael Carrick's situation at Manchester United amid a challenging season.

Manchester United have struggled this season under Michael Carrick, and Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on his future at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils currently sit in 12th position in the Premier League table, having won just one game in the top flight all season.

United have failed to win any of their last three Premier League matches, while they were also knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Brighton.

There's no doubt Carrick did a superb job turning things around for the Manchester club last season, qualifying for the Champions League, but they have taken a step back this year.

Carrick did have the benefit of having no midweek games outside of the Premier League last season, but they've struggled with the hectic schedule so far.

Reporting on his YouTube channel, Romano has provided an update on the future of Carrick at Manchester United after a disappointing start to the season.

> "As of today, Manchester United have not made any movement to contact other coaches. Manchester United are not in direct negotiation or in direct conversation with coaches or with the representatives. So, at the moment, it is completely quiet and will stay quiet for the next weeks and they hope months.

> "Then obviously we are, as I always say, in a results business, in a results industry, and so results are always needed, but United maintain their confidence in Michael Carrick as a club.

> "Manchester United maintain their confidence also because, and I think this is an important point, at the club, they believe that also the players are with the coach. At the club, they believe that, compared to other situations Man United had in the recent past where some players were not so happy with the coach, in this case, they believe the large majority of the players are absolutely backing and supporting the ideas of Michael Carrick."

It's no surprise that United are backing Carrick at this stage, as there have only been five Premier League matches.

Sacking him now would be a controversial move, especially after he did so well last season.

There's no doubt he needs to show improvement over the coming weeks, but he has the backing of the board for now.
