Carrick's future under review at Man United, no rush to decide

According to ESPN, Manchester United's hierarchy is still discussing the future of Michael Carrick, and the club wants to take its time before deciding. The coach is under pressure: after the 4-4 draw with Aston Villa on Sunday, United sit 18th in the Premier League, in the relegation places.

After heavy defeats to Como and Bournemouth last month, the bosses backed him and told him and the players they would get a chance to turn things around. Since the 3-0 home loss to Bournemouth on October 25, United have lost 2-0 at Chelsea, beaten Roma 3-2 and drawn with Villa. The BBC reports that Eddie Howe and Julian Nagelsmann were considered as replacements after that defeat.

The numbers are poor: one league win all season, against Ipswich in August, and eight goals conceded in the last three matches. Sky Sports adds that the fans are not calling for him to go. The next game is at Anfield against Liverpool on November 22, after the international break.
