Chelsea defeat extends losing streak

Manchester United lost their last game at Stamford Bridge by a score of two goals to nil. The team has now gone without a victory in nine matches across all competitions. Lisandro Martinez was sent off after conceding a penalty that made the result final.

Manager dismisses sack rumours

Carrick stated he anticipates continuing as head coach for the upcoming fixture against Roma on Tuesday. He noted that the club could finish the weekend in the Premier League relegation zone. The manager refused to explain why falling into the bottom three would be any different.

Focus shifts to midweek game

The coach told reporters he is looking forward to preparing his players for the Champions League tie. He analysed the defensive errors that led to Morgan Rogers scoring the first goal. United played well in the first half but missed several clear opportunities to win.
