Carrick had awoken to reports that he would be sacked after a torrid start to the season left United languishing in the Premier League relegation zone.
It would be hard for even Carrick's most ardent fan to complain if the axe fell following United's worst opening to a campaign for 40 years.
But, in keeping with the muddled thinking that seems to afflict United's leadership whenever they are faced with a major decision, Carrick got back in his car after Tuesday's training session still none the wiser about his fate.
