Manchester United board's 'private agreement' in Michael Carrick sack talks

Manchester United's hierarchy reportedly agreed in private to try to reach the November international break before pulling the trigger on sacking Michael Carrick if required . Club chiefs held crisis talks following defeat to Bournemouth and will be forced to consider their position once again after a ninth match without a win. United fell to a 2-0 defeat against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, failing to capitalise on a decent start and imploding with some poor defending to allow Morgan Rogers to open the scoring before Lisandro Martinez picked up a senseless red card.
