Michael Carrick insisted resilience "runs very, very deep" into the foundations of Manchester United amid their poor run of form that has put his position under threat. United's 2026-27 campaign reached a new low on Wednesday, going down 4-1 to Champions League debutants Como, leaving them without a win in their last seven matches. It is the first time they have gone this long without a victory since between November and December 2015, when they went on a run of eight matches without success. That stretch could be equalled this Sunday when they welcome Bournemouth to Old Trafford, and another poor result here could spell an end to Carrick's time at the club. Carrick's side are 13th in the Premier League and just one point above Bournemouth, with reports linking Julian Nagelsmann and Antonio Conte to the club, though the latter has since said he is not in "advanced negotiations" with any club in response to those rumours. But ahead of a crucial clash for both United and Carrick, the Red Devils boss believes the club can find their way back after a dismal start to their season. "The foundations of this football club and values have been etched down for many years," Carrick told reporters. "I totally understand, and I get every single one of them. It comes down to being humble, working hard and being really proud to live up to those values."There is a resilience about this football club that has been shown for a long, long time."Whether that's bouncing back from adversity, comebacks, late goals, sustaining success, there is a resilience to this football club that runs very, very deep."However, Carrick and United come up against a Bournemouth side riding high after their Europa League win against AC Milan, who are now under Ruben Amorim's guidance. Bournemouth became the first English side to win each of their first three games in major European competition since Sunderland back in October 1973 with a 3-0 triumph. Their form in Europe has been completely different to the one they have shown in the Premier League, with Bournemouth taking just six points from their first seven matches. But Rose is hoping Bournemouth's "brilliant" performance against Milan can be used as a solid foundation to build on ahead of making the trip to Old Trafford. "I feel really good. I'm proud of the club, happy for the fans and proud of the lads. It was a great evening, a great result and a brilliant performance in every aspect," Rose said."We were really sharp in everything, played our game, and it's a deserved win."The way we got into the game, the effort, the attitude, the way we won balls and put pressure on Milan was great. We created chances, scored an early goal and kept the pressure high. This was Bournemouth, and this is what we wanted to show."PLAYERS TO WATCHManchester United – Bryan MbeumoMbeumo has scored six goals in his last nine Premier League appearances for Man Utd, having gone 11 without a goal beforehand.He's scored in his last two, both 1-1 draws, with Bruno Fernandes in April 2024 the only Red Devils player to score in three in a row without winning any, a sequence which ended with two goals in a 2-2 draw with Bournemouth.Bournemouth – EvanilsonEvanilson has been involved in six Premier League goals for Bournemouth this season (two goals, four assists), making up 67% of the Cherries' overall total (6/9).This is the highest share of goals scored or assisted by one player for a club so far this season in the division.MATCH PREDICTION: MANCHESTER UNITED WINDespite being considered the underdogs here, Bournemouth are unbeaten in their last three Premier League visits to Old Trafford (W2 D1), scoring at least three goals in every match, the only team to ever achieve that in three visits in a row to the Red Devils in the league.The last team to score 3+ goals in four away Premier League games in a row against an opponent were Manchester City at Newcastle United from 2020-21 to 2023-24.Bournemouth also registered their first Premier League win of the season last time out against Sunderland.
