After their poor start to the season, Ole Gunnar Solskjær could be in for another spell as the manager of Manchester United. He and Michael Carrick fought for the job when Ruben Amorim left his role, but the club opted to give Carrick the chance. He did well in the final months of last season, helping the team secure a place in the Champions League. This summer, United bolstered their squad with several new players and expect to challenge for the league title. However, after just one match, pressure is already mounting on Carrick. Carrick Under Pressure at United It was embarrassing to lose their first game of the season against Premier League new boys Hull City, and that result must quickly be forgotten with several wins. Otherwise, Carrick could find himself under serious pressure. United have had several big-money managers in the past, but naming Carrick as their manager shows that the club wants to continue trusting some of its own. This means a return for Solskjær cannot be ruled out. Solskjær Could Return Sporten says Solskjær is set for another spell and expects to receive a call from the club if Carrick cannot get wins from the team as he did last season. There is a real risk that could happen if United fail to improve their results in the coming weeks. United have several new players that they could struggle to fit all of them into the team, and that could affect their results in the next few weeks. Carrick will therefore need to find a way to get the best from his new players quickly. The expectations surrounding United remain high, particularly after their summer spending, and another poor run of results could increase the pressure on the manager. For Solskjær, the situation could present an opportunity to return to the club if Carrick cannot turn things around. However, United will hope their current manager can respond quickly and prevent the situation from reaching that stage. The coming weeks could therefore be crucial for Carrick, with the club needing results to justify its decision to place its faith in him.
