Michael Carrick will be given more time to turn Manchester United's fortunes around after a meeting of the club's hierarchy on Monday.
Carrick's position as head coach appeared under serious threat following Sunday's 3-0 defeat at home to Bournemouth, a result which left United 16th and without a win in their last eight matches in all competitions.
However, following talks on Monday between the club's senior leadership figures, including co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, CEO Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox, the decision has been made to give Carrick and the players more time.

I’m in full agreement. It’s for the best.

Best anecdote in Carol Thatcher's book about her father is when Sir Denis boarded a train at Paddington in which the only empty compartment was reserved for Rosewood Psychiatric Hospital.
Denis travelled alone and in comfort as far as Reading when "all these chaps piled in", accompanied by a male nurse, who counted them before the train moved off.
'One, two, three, four ... who are you?"
"I'm the Prime Minister's husband."
"Six, seven, eight, nine..."

Since 2005 Premier League clubs have had a total interest cost on borrowings and financial debt of £3.5bn.
One club and one set of owners is responsible for 35% of the total.

I’ll never, ever forgive them for this. 3-0 up at half time. Needed a win to get promoted. You can guess the rest. It’s why I love them and always will.
We’re heading back to May 1989 – almost 40 years ago, when Manchester City did things the hard way!
City have just thrown away a 3-0 half-time lead against Bournemouth, putting their hopes of returning to the First Division after a two-year absence in serious jeopardy.
We catch up with injured goalkeeper Andy Dibble immediately after the final whistle as he shares his concerns, while former City manager John Bond candidly predicts that the Blues won’t win promotion, with just one game remaining.
Pure 80s City – chaotic, unpredictable and never dull!
A wonderful insight into a very different era of football.

Remember I was first to tell you.
Manchester United haven’t been able to win the league or anything of any significance since they haven’t been able to buy it. The day they couldn’t financially bulldoze every other team in Europe was the day the roof started leaking apparently. Now it’s an even playing field they are done
