Michael Carrick arriving at Carrington on Tuesday 27 October.
Michael Carrick will remain as Manchester United head coach for Saturday’s Premier League match against Chelsea.
Carrick had arrived at Carrington early on Tuesday October 27 with his future still up in the air after a 3-0 defeat by Bournemouth at Old Trafford on October 25 left his side 16th in the table.
It is understood training took place as usual, with Carrick and his squad being given the opportunity to turn the situation around and focus on showing a response in the next match away to Chelsea on October 31.

Carrick sidestepped questions over his future following the Bournemouth defeat, when he waved to the crowd and patted his chest as he left the pitch as fans supportively chanted his name.
The Old Trafford faithful’s anger was instead aimed at the Glazers, co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the Ineos set-up, including United director of football Wilcox.
Players were booed at the final whistle as they followed Carrick down the tunnel on a day when the manager left captain Bruno Fernandes on the bench.

Carrick claimed the decision to name him among the substitutes on Sunday was a “pure football” decision rather than punishment but the Portugal international did not play a minute.
It was the second public outburst from a Manchester United player this season, after Lisandro Martinez was fined and brought in for talks after criticising the club hierarchy after the loss at Atletico Madrid.
The Red Devils sit just a point above the Premier League relegation zone in 16th place ahead of the trip to Chelsea, before heading into the international break with home games against Roma and Aston Villa.
