To be honest, I can’t believe Michael Carrick is at Stamford Bridge this afternoon. I really thought he was toast.

Now, we all know that Carrick is the fall guy for all the failures of those above him, but nevertheless, the results aren’t good enough.

Manchester United have won just two in 12 games…

The defeats to Como and Bournemouth last week were quite humbling, if not humiliating. We all believed those were teh final two nails in the coffin.

But nope, the board are sticking with Carrick, for now, and he needs to get results immediately.

Starting today.
