Manchester United have made their final decision on Michael Carrick's position as head coach ahead of their next fixture.

On Sunday, United made it to eight consecutive games in a row as they suffered a damaging 3-0 loss to Bournemouth at Old Trafford.

With pressure already mounting on Carrick's future at the club, many believed that the loss would be his last match in charge at United, but it's now been confirmed that he will remain in charge for the upcoming meeting with Chelsea.

Michael Carrick sack decision made ahead of Man United v Chelsea

On Saturday, October 31, United travel to Stamford Bridge to face a Chelsea side that has exceeded expectations so far this season.

Given the recent form of both clubs, United fans understandably aren't likely to be confident heading into the fixture, with many calling for Carrick to be sacked amid links to several other top managers.

But, as per The Athletic, Carrick has been given chance to turn results around, and will remain in charge for the Chelsea clash after taking training at Carrington ahead of the game.

As it stands, it is not clear if Carrick has been given just the Chelsea game to turn things around, or if he could have until the next international break, set to take place from Monday, 9 November to Tuesday, 17 November, to save his United career.
