Experts predict Michael Carrick's tenure may end after United's heavy loss

Manchester United suffered a 4-0 defeat to Como, prompting pundits to question manager Michael Carrick's future at the club.

In a Champions League group match at Old Trafford, Manchester United lost 4-0 to Italian club Como, conceding early goals from Nico Paz and Anastasios Douvikas before Jacobo Ramon completed the tally, with Joshua Zirkzee adding a consolation goal in stoppage time. The defeat followed a series of four losses and three draws since United's win over Sabah. Analysts Eivind Holth and Lars Tjærnås called the result one of the club's biggest humiliations, noting the team's inability to create chances and the low level of play.

Both experts expressed skepticism that manager Michael Carrick can halt the decline, suggesting the club may soon consider replacing him. They warned that United's leadership appears to have exhausted its patience with one outlet situation.

Why it matters

The loss intensifies pressure on United's manager, potentially leading to a coaching change.
