EPL: Man Utd take decision on sacking Carrick before Bournemouth clash

According to a report by Daily Post on Thursday October 22, 2026, Manchester United have reportedly decided to keep manager Michael Carrick in charge for their Premier League clash against Bournemouth this weekend, despite growing concerns over the club’s recent performances.

According to Daily Post Nigeria, citing Sky Sports, senior officials at Old Trafford are increasingly worried about the team’s poor run of form, with Sunday’s encounter potentially playing an important role in determining Carrick’s future.

The decision means Carrick is expected to lead the Red Devils when they host Bournemouth at Old Trafford on Sunday.

United head into the fixture following a disappointing 4-1 defeat to Como in the Champions League, a result that reportedly extended their winless run in all competitions to seven matches.

The team’s struggles have increased the pressure on Carrick, with supporters and club officials expecting an improvement in results.

The Bournemouth encounter could therefore prove significant for the Englishman as he looks to guide Manchester United back to winning ways.

Meanwhile, reports have linked several managers with the possibility of taking over at Old Trafford should the club decide to make a change.

Former Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte and Brighton and Hove Albion boss Fabian Hurzeler are among the names reportedly associated with the position.

However, there has been no confirmation in the supplied report that Manchester United have formally approached either manager.

For now, Carrick remains in charge, but the club’s reported concerns suggest that his position is attracting increasing scrutiny.

The former Manchester United midfielder will be hoping his players can deliver a positive performance against Bournemouth and ease the pressure surrounding his future.

With the team struggling to secure victories, Sunday’s match presents an opportunity for United to respond on the pitch while the uncertainty surrounding their manager continues.
