Michael Carrick speaks out on job security ahead of Man United’s Villa clash

Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick has revealed he has received no assurances over his job security despite his side slipping into the Premier League relegation zone, according to the Evening Standard.​

United host Aston Villa on Sunday afternoon needing a victory to escape the bottom three, where they currently sit following Nottingham Forest’s win over Manchester City.

Defeat would leave United in the relegation zone throughout the international break and amplify calls for Carrick’s dismissal.​When asked if he had received any guarantees about remaining in charge after the break, Carrick stated:

“No, no. Just carry on as absolute normal.”

“Whatever happens, what’s going to happen is going to happen in terms of the game (against Villa), and we’ve got to prepare right, looking forward to it,” he added. “I said the other night I was really looking forward to the game going into it, I genuinely was.”
