I think recently we havent had a good time, I think thats pretty obvious. I totally accept that, what were going through at the moment.The backdrop could hardly be bleaker. Wednesdays 4-1 humiliation at Como, a club in its first-ever Champions League campaign, extended Uniteds winless run to seven games in all competitions. They are 13th in the Premier League, with one win and seven points from their first seven games, and their last three league matches against Leeds, Tottenham and Fulham have all ended in draws.Carrick didnt hide from the Como defeat. Wednesday was a bad night, it was a bad night for a lot of reasons, and it was a bad night that hurt a lot, he said. It hurt me to see us play that way, to see how the game panned out.The United boss spoke repeatedly about the clubs history, invoking Sir Alex Ferguson, Ryan Giggs, Wayne Rooney, Sir Matt Busby and Sir Bobby Charlton as he stressed that Manchester United will always will be bigger than any single individual. Bigger than me, bigger than any of the players.The central theme of his message was humility. It comes down to humility, it comes down to being humble, it comes down to being hard-working and being really proud to work hard and being proud to live up to them values, Carrick said.He also made it clear that nobody at the club, including himself, should feel safe. Im not entitled to be here. Entitlement cannot be here at this football club. Were not entitled to win, he said. Weve won in the past, weve got an incredible history but that doesnt mean that youre entitled to just win.Carrick was asked whether he is still the right man for the job, and he said he 100% backs himself. That spirit, that unity, that togetherness needs to be there. And it is there, and it will be there. Ill make sure its there anyway, he said. Im just looking for the solutions to move us forward, thats plain and simple.The speculation around him isnt going away. Fabian Hrzeler and Unai Emery have been linked with the job, as have free agents Antonio Conte, Eddie Howe and Julian Nagelsmann. Conte said just minutes before Carricks press conference that he is not in advanced talks with any club, and Hrzeler insisted on Friday that his focus is on Brighton.Bournemouth arrive at Old Trafford in a far better mood. Marco Roses side thrashed AC Milan 3-0 in the Europa League on Thursday night, making it three wins from three in Europe, and they have climbed out of the relegation zone to 15th. They have six points from seven league games, just one point fewer than United.They have also been a problem for United in recent seasons. The last meeting between the sides ended in a 2-2 draw.The Premier League Table Premier League 2026 England #TeamPlayedWonDrawnLostGFGAGDPtsLast 5 1 Manchester City77001971221 W W W W W 2 Arsenal7601115618 W W L W W 3 Brighton75112351816 W W W W D 4 Chelsea74121713413 W W L D L 5 Liverpool733198112 W L W D W 6 Brentford7241138510 L D W D D 7 Leeds724196310 D L D W D 8 Everton724187110 L D W D D 9 Hull City72328719 L D L D D 10 Ipswich73041115-49 L W L W L 11 Newcastle72231014-48 L L W L D 12 Aston Villa7223711-48 W D W L D 13 Manchester United7142101007 D D D L D 14 Crystal Palace7214917-87 L W D L W 15 Bournemouth7133913-46 W L L D D 16 Tottenham7133610-46 W D L D D 17 Coventry7205614-86 L W W L L 18 Fulham7124710-35 W L D D L 19 Nottingham Forest712459-45 L L L W D 20 Sunderland7115614-84 L L L L D Position 1, 2, 3, 4 : Promotion Champions League (League phase) Position 5 : Promotion Europa League (League phase) Position 18, 19, 20 : Relegation Championship Team News for Manchester United v BournemouthUnited have a long injury list.
