Michael Carrick says he expects to remain in charge of Manchester United after the team's dramatic 4-4 draw against Aston Villa on Sunday. The result left Carrick's future as manager under scrutiny, but the former United midfielder insisted he is focused on the job at hand.
The match at Villa Park saw United twice come from behind to salvage a point, with the visitors scoring twice in the final ten minutes. Despite the chaotic nature of the game, Carrick told reporters after the final whistle that he has not considered stepping aside.
"I'm here to do a job and I'll continue to do it to the best of my ability," Carrick said. "The club knows my commitment and I'm confident in the group we have."
United currently sit in the middle of the Premier League table, and the draw extended their winless run to three matches. The club's hierarchy has not publicly commented on Carrick's position since the game.
