Michael Carrick Addresses Job Security Amid United Struggles

Michael Carrick, the manager of Manchester United, has dismissed fears regarding his job security amid a challenging period for the team, stating it would be “ridiculous” to worry about his future after just “two or three” defeats. United recently lost 2-0 at home to Manchester City and suffered a defeat against Brighton in the Carabao Cup, marking the first time in 50 years that a team came back from two goals down to win at Old Trafford.

Carrick noted that there has been no indication from senior figures at the club that his position is under threat, focusing instead on the underperformance of players. He stated, “It’s not a catastrophe or a disaster,” and emphasized the importance of finding solutions rather than assigning blame.

Carrick also mentioned that Luke Shaw and new signing Carlos Baleba “have a chance” of being fit for the upcoming match against Fulham at Craven Cottage.
