Carrick expects to stay on as United boss after Chelsea defeat
Manchester United lost 2-0 to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on 31 Oct, their ninth straight game without a win in all competitions. Goals came from Morgan Rogers and Cole Palmer, the latter from a penalty after Lisandro Martinez was sent off on two yellow cards. Manager Michael Carrick says he expects to remain in charge for Tuesday's Champions League match against Roma at Old Trafford. The club's run is its worst since September 1984, and the side sits 20th in the Premier League table, one point above the relegation zone.
Key facts
- Carrick says the team played well in the first half but faded after the break.
- The defeat was United's third consecutive loss, per the match report.
- United have failed to win any of their first seven away games in a season for the first time since 1973-74.
