Carrick's seat under threat as United go nine games without a win

Manchester United lost 2-0 to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. With this result, the team has gone nine matches without a win and has dropped to 16th place in the Premier League table. United have collected seven points from nine league games and sit only one point above the relegation zone.

Michael Carrick's position was already being debated before the match. After the team lost 3-0 to Bournemouth, club executive Omar Berrada and football director Jason Wilcox held an emergency meeting. Names such as Eddie Howe and Julian Nagelsmann were mentioned, but the club decided to continue with Carrick.

United resisted their opponents in the first half. Matheus Cunha's goal was disallowed for offside. In the second half, however, Chelsea took complete control of the game, and in the 50th minute Morgan Rogers opened the scoring with an individual goal, getting past the midfield and the defence.

The situation for the visitors worsened further in the 63rd minute. Lisandro Martínez was sent off after receiving a second yellow card for elbowing Wesley Fofana. Referee Peter Bankes awarded a penalty after reviewing the incident on video, and Cole Palmer converted the spot kick to make it 2-0.
