I don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019ll always do what\u2019s best for this football club. I\u2019ve said it all along, I don\u2019t change that now. I love what I do. I love the responsibility, but we\u2019ll have to wait and see.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite a dismal run of results, the United fans largely supported Carrick as he made his way off the field at full-time before they turned on the club\u2019s players.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI have mixed emotions to have that connection with the supporters in the moment we\u2019re in. I need time to digest that,\u201d added Carrick.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI appreciate their support but the situation is where it\u2019s at. We haven\u2019t been good enough.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carrick\u2019s decision to drop captain Bruno Fernandes to the bench and not even introduce the Portuguese international as a substitute backfired.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fernandes, last season\u2019s Premier League player of the year, had criticised Carrick\u2019s tactics after a 4-1 thrashing by Como on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere\u2019s always times in games when you are trying to change the course of the game and to make a difference,\u201d said Carrick as he swerved questions on Fernandes\u2019s absence. \u201cThose were the decisions we made today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanguardngr.com\/2026\/10\/carrick-unsure-over-man-utd-future-after-bournemouth-loss\/\">Carrick unsure over Man Utd future after Bournemouth loss<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanguardngr.com\/\">Vanguard News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Source: <\/p>\n<div class=\"nSourse\">Vanguard News<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michael Carrick said he will do what is best for Manchester United after a 3-0 demolition by Bournemouth plunged his future as manager into doubt on Sunday.
