Michael Carrick, the interim manager of Manchester United, faces growing pressure after his team suffered a 2-0 defeat against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on October 31. The loss came with Lisandro Martinez being sent off in the match, leaving United short-handed for part of the game. Despite initial reports suggesting that Carrick might be given more time, recent articles indicate that Manchester United may have already made the decision to sack him following this defeat. The team had been struggling with poor results before the Chelsea match and was on a winless streak in eight games across all competitions. Bruno Fernandes, who had been dropped from the previous game, returned to the starting lineup as captain but could not prevent the loss. Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Manchester United’s minority shareholder, attended the match, possibly adding pressure for change within the club.
