English Premier League side Manchester United, which has fallen into a severe slump, has decided to keep Michael Carrick (45) in charge as its manager.

Local media outlets, including the UK's BBC, Sky Sports, and The Athletic, all reported on the 27th (Korean time) that the Manchester United club had held a meeting and decided to retain Carrick in his position.

Manchester United is currently mired in an eight-match winless streak in official competitions after suffering a 0-3 home defeat to Burnley on the 25th and losing 1-4 to Como (Italy) in the UEFA Champions League three days earlier.

In the English Premier League (EPL), the team has fallen to 16th place, managing only one win (four draws, three losses; seven points) in its first eight matches of the season. It is the first time in 40 years that a Manchester United side has earned just seven points from its opening eight games in club history.

Naturally, speculation arose about Carrick being sacked over the poor results, but senior club officials, including co-owners Jim Ratcliffe and Omar Berrada, decided to keep Carrick in charge after internal discussions.

The Athletic reported that it was "an unexpected outcome, considering the turmoil Manager Carrick has faced in recent weeks."

Carrick took over as interim manager in January following Ruben Amorim, leading Manchester United from seventh place to third and earning recognition for his coaching abilities, which led to him being appointed as the permanent head coach. His contract is for a two-year term.
