We\u2019ve got to take the things that we felt worked for us today and take a bit of belief and the confidence from that and a lot of the good things, especially in the first half.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">United\u2019s longest winless run for 38 years leaves them just one point above the Premier League relegation zone and at risk of dropping into the bottom three by the end of the weekend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFrom being in such a good place in the first half, the two halves of football couldn\u2019t probably be more further apart in some ways,\u201d added Carrick.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think the way they went about it and played, the quality of football and the way we played in the first half, definitely gives encouragement. We\u2019ve got to take that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two defeats in their first three Champions League games have left United 20th in the 36-team table and at risk of missing out on the knockout stages.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AFP<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanguardngr.com\/2026\/10\/carrick-expects-to-stay-as-man-utd-coach-despite-chelsea-defeat\/\">Carrick expects to stay as Man Utd coach despite Chelsea defeat<\/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 expects to remain in charge of Manchester United for Tuesday\u2019s Champions League visit of Roma despite a 2-0 defeat at Chelsea that stretched the club\u2019s winless&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5087,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5086","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5086","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5086"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5086\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5087"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5086"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5086"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5086"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
