Michael Carrick: Man Utd keep him in charge as future of the role is debated
What happened
According to BBC Sport, Manchester United manager Michael Carrick is carrying on in the job while the club looks at possible replacements. A TEAMtalk report, headlined as exclusive, says Jason Wilcox is set to have the final say on any decision.
When it started
The reports were published around the time of Man Utd's upcoming match against Bournemouth, and Carrick is due to hold a press conference before that game, according to the club's website. The exact dates of the reports are not given in the sources provided.
How it spread
The BBC says the club is considering possible replacements but has not confirmed any change. TEAMtalk's sacking claim is based on its own reporting and is not confirmed by the club in the sources provided.
Why it matters
The coverage follows a defeat that TEAMtalk describes as a 'humbling' result against Como. Those reports have led to questions about Carrick's future, but no official decision on his position is stated in the sources.
