Many recognized the “pattern”. Humiliating loss to Serie A “mosquito” Como in the Champions League, humiliating 0-3 loss to Bournemouth at Old Trafford. The time to sack Michael Carrick seemed to be now. According to various English media, a new United manager could be in place even before this weekend’s Chelsea game. On Tuesday, reports from Carrington come to the contrary.
Many were convinced Michael Carrick’s days as Man Utd coach would be over as early as Monday after crisis meetings at the club. The English press has lined up outside the Carrington training ground to report that Carrick did not show up!, but on Monday the coach was pictured on his way in and out of the training facility at Carrington, where he is said to have followed a friendly match for the reserve team against Hull City.

That was Monday. What about Tuesday? The Athletic reported on Monday that Carrick would lead Tuesday’s training session with the team. On Tuesday morning, United pundit Samuel Luckhurst reported that Carrick has arrived at Carrington: “Carrick back at Carrington today at usual time in his training gear.”
So there we are.
