Manchester United avoided defeat against Aston Villa (4-4) with two goals in stoppage time, but they remain in the relegation zone, and there is much speculation about Michael Carrick’s future as manager. He appeared annoyed when a Sky Sports reporter even brought up the topic of his resignation.
“I don’t like the situation we’re in, nor the results we’ve had, but I’m not going to resign,” he said.

Here’s the full exchange:
Question: “What do you expect to happen in the coming weeks? If you thought stepping down was the best solution, you probably would have done so already.”
Carrick: “That’s not going to happen, no.”
Question: “So what do you expect to happen? Obviously there’s going to be some discussion, isn’t there?”
Carrick: “Will there be one?”
Question: “One would assume so, right?”
Carrick: “Would you assume so?”
Question: “What do you think?”
Carrick: “You’re telling me what you think, aren’t you?”
Question: “I’m asking you what you think. What do you expect to happen?”
Carrick: “We understand the situation—we haven’t won enough games. But I expect us to move forward and continue working on what we’ve been working on so far —while maintaining the many positive aspects we showed in the game—to minimize certain mistakes and win games.”
