Story summary

As of November 2, 2026, Michael Carrick remains the head coach of Manchester United despite mounting pressure due to a nine-game winless streak. The club faces Roma in the Champions League on Tuesday, with speculation about Carrick's future intensifying after their recent defeats. Patrick Dorgu, who recently returned from injury, participated in training for the first time but will not play against Roma. Dorgu’s return is seen as a boost given United's current struggles; they are 17th in the Premier League and have only won once since August when they beat Ipswich Town 5-2. Carrick expressed optimism about the upcoming match, stating he views it as an opportunity to change their season narrative despite the challenging situation.
