Michael Carrick to Remain Manchester United Caretaker for Champions League Clash vs Roma

Michael Carrick will continue as Manchester United's caretaker manager for Tuesday's Champions League match against Roma at Old Trafford, despite Saturday's 2-0 Premier League defeat at Chelsea. The loss leaves United 17th in the table with no wins in nine games, their worst start to a season since 1988. The club is expected to review Carrick's position during the upcoming international break after United host Aston Villa on Sunday. Roma, led by José Mourinho, will be a key test as United aim to end their slump in Europe's elite competition. The decision suggests the board is giving Carrick more time while they evaluate long-term options, but pressure is mounting with each poor result. A positive result against Roma could stabilize the club, but another setback may accelerate the search for a permanent manager.
