Manchester United manager Michael Carrick has downplayed concerns about his future at the club following a tough week of results, calling it "ridiculous" to speculate about his tenure after just "two or three" poor performances. Carrick's team is set to face Fulham on Sunday, following a difficult run that included a heavy home defeat to Manchester City and a surprising Carabao Cup loss to Brighton, which marked the first time a team had come from two goals down to win at Old Trafford in 50 years. The results have led to frustration among fans, who responded with boos and chants against the team. Carrick has shown no signs of being affected by the pressure, stating that his focus remains on the club's performance rather than on rumors about his position. He emphasized that he is fully aware of his role and the expectations at Old Trafford, but said that thoughts about his future are not on his mind. Carrick acknowledged that losing is difficult, but insisted it does not mean the end of the world for the club. There has been no indication from senior figures at United that his position is under threat, with more attention placed on the performance of players, despite 12 wins out of 17 games in the second half of last season under his management. So far this season, United have managed two victories from six games, including wins against newly promoted Ipswich and Azerbaijani champions Sabah FK in the Champions League. Carrick described the current situation as "not a catastrophe or a disaster" and emphasized that it is not the end of the world. He noted that the noise surrounding a club of United's size often makes issues seem larger than they are. Despite the challenges, Carrick expressed his deep love for the club, where he has both played and begun his coaching career. He mentioned that while there are both great feelings and disappointments, he sees these as part of being at a top football club. Carrick stated that he would not want to be anywhere else and believes it is the best place for him, even when things are not going as planned. He believes these are the best times to work through challenges and emerge stronger. Externally, the focus has been on areas such as recruitment, particularly at left-back, the club's financial situation, Carrick's relative inexperience, and the lack of experienced coaching staff beyond assistant boss Steve Holland. Carrick said it is not a blame game, and while he is willing to take responsibility, the focus should be on finding solutions and improving as a united football club. He mentioned that players like Luke Shaw and new signing Carlos Baleba could be fit for the upcoming match against Fulham.
