Carrick 'saddened' by Man Utd situation after loss to Bournemouth

ByGary RoseBBC Sport journalist

Michael Carrick's future as Manchester United manager is under major threat following the home loss to Bournemouth on Sunday.

The Red Devils lost 3-0 as their poor start to the season continued - they have won just one of their eight Premier League matches so far and sit 16th - 14 points off the top.

Carrick, 45, took interim charge in January following Ruben Amorim's departure and he was rewarded with the permanent job in May after securing Champions League qualification with an impressive run that resulted in them finishing third.
