Manchester United manager Michael Carrick is facing increasing pressure following his team's loss to Chelsea in a Premier League 2026/27 fixture on October 31, 2026. Former Manchester United defender Ashley Cole, now a pundit, delivered a scathing assessment of Carrick's tenure, suggesting the players no longer believe in the manager.
The defeat at Stamford Bridge has intensified scrutiny on Carrick's position, with Cole's comments adding to the growing chorus of criticism. The match, part of the 2026/27 Premier League season, ended in a victory for Chelsea, though the exact scoreline was not disclosed in the initial report.
