Manchester United manager Michael Carrick is consulting Sir Alex Ferguson and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as the club battles a disastrous season.

Michael Carrick is consulting Sir Alex Ferguson and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as he attempts to rescue Manchester United from its worst league start in 40 years. The manager is under pressure ahead of Sunday's game against Bournemouth at Old Trafford after a run of seven matches without a win, and apologised to fans following a heavy European defeat.

Carrick, who beat Solskjaer to the head coach position in January, said he speaks to both men 'quite regularly'. The 45-year-old denied that dressing-room unrest has made the club 'unmanageable', despite reported criticism from captain Bruno Fernandes and Lisandro Martinez directed at Carrick and director of football Jason Wilcox. He called on everyone at United to put the club first and promised fans they would see 'a different team' against Bournemouth.
