Manchester United Suffer Worst Winless Run in 42 Years

Michael Carrick expects to remain in charge of Manchester United, despite a 2-0 defeat to Chelsea cementing the club's worst winless run in 42 years.

Manchester United unraveled in the second half at Stamford Bridge after Lisandro Martinez was sent off for conceding a penalty, which Cole Palmer converted to seal the victory for Chelsea. The defender had earlier made an error leading to Morgan Rogers' opening goal, capping off a nightmare afternoon for the Red Devils.

Carrick's side are now winless in their last nine matches across all competitions—their longest such drought since September 1984.

Despite widespread expectations of his dismissal following last Sunday's 3-0 home defeat to Bournemouth, the head coach believes he will still be in the dugout for Tuesday's Champions League clash against Roma at Old Trafford.

For the first time since the 1973-74 campaign, when United were last relegated from the top flight, the team has failed to win any of its opening seven away fixtures in all competitions.
