Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick has addressed speculation over his future.
Fanat.az reports that the news was carried by Reuters.
According to the report, the English club have failed to win any of their last nine matches. The Red Devils are enduring a difficult spell, sitting 17th in the Premier League with seven points after nine rounds.
Despite this, the club's hierarchy have not yet decided to part ways with Carrick.
Asked about his future at a press conference, he replied:
“It has no impact on our preparations or tomorrow's match. We can't wait for kick-off. Right now, my focus is entirely on this game. Whatever happens after that will happen. Time will tell which direction we take. I love being here and working with the players. The difficulties and challenges motivate me to work harder.”
Carrick also said he had the ability to turn the team's situation around:
“We know what we are capable of. Although we are close to getting the results we want, we need to show it on the pitch quickly. We have two important games this week. Both the Roma and Aston Villa matches are good opportunities to turn things around.”
The head coach also addressed the professionalism of Lisandro Martínez, who was sent off against Chelsea:
“I have no concerns about his commitment to the team. These things happen in football. Sometimes mistakes are made. But his commitment to the team is not an issue.”
Carrick also stressed the unity among the players:
“The atmosphere in the dressing room is good. Nobody should question the players' commitment to the club, to me or to each other. We simply need to play better and make better decisions.”
Manchester United will host Roma in the UEFA Champions League on 3 November.
