David Ornstein, the renowned journalist from The Athletic, answered fan questions on a podcast, stating that Manchester United currently fully backs Carrick and hopes he can lead the team to success, with no intention of sacking him.

Is Carrick's position at Manchester United secure?

Ornstein: Managing Manchester United means being under constant pressure from the owners, senior executives, management, staff, and players. This also reflects the club's extremely high expectations. Carrick understands this better than anyone; he knows that managing Manchester United comes with these burdens. Ultimately, football is a results-driven business.

Manchester United's hierarchy has good intentions, and the fans currently have a positive impression of him, but ultimately, he will be judged by his results. Furthermore, every previous Manchester United manager serves as a cautionary tale: once results consistently decline, they end up paying the price. Therefore, Carrick must improve the team's situation.

From what I know, Manchester United currently has no intention of sacking Carrick. On the contrary, the club fully backs him and hopes he can lead the team to success. However, at any club, this backing is not permanent. The team's current performance and recent displays have already raised concerns. The performance against Tottenham was unacceptable to both Carrick himself and the club's senior management.

Fan dissatisfaction is very strong; we hear, see, and read relevant public opinion. I know many Manchester United fans and I really felt this negative sentiment. At the same time, the outside world will also question Manchester United's entire management structure: the recruitment department, the executives, and the club's owners.

We often use a saying to describe clubs like Manchester United: a rotten beam brings down the entire house. The Glazer family still controls the club, though all eyes are on Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who truly deserves to be in the centre of public attention.

From the CEO to the Sporting Director, everyone in a position of responsibility must take accountability, rather than just blaming the manager. The players must also take responsibility.

Manchester United has been in this situation countless times before, but ultimately, it is often only the manager who pays the price. If the team's performance continues to decline and the difficulties prove hard to reverse, Manchester United will undoubtedly become the centre of a media storm once again.

There is a crucial match this weekend, and Carrick hopes to lead the team to victory. I believe the current support from the fans and management can give him some time and confidence. However, at a powerful club of this size, if there are no results, there will inevitably be a price to pay.
