Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox expected to stay at Manchester United as Carrick faces uncertain future

Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox are expected to remain at Manchester United even if Michael Carrick is dismissed, according to reports in the British press.

The club's chief executive and director of football are understood to retain the backing of co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe despite growing criticism of the club's leadership and recent performances.

Carrick's position, however, remains in serious doubt after a difficult run of results. United are considering their options during the international break, with Berrada and Wilcox expected to discuss the situation with Ratcliffe in Monaco.

The pair are reportedly prepared to recommend a change in the managerial position, with Mauricio Pochettino among the names linked with the job. Kieran McKenna is also admired by figures at Old Trafford, although a move for the Ipswich Town manager is considered unlikely.

If Carrick leaves, United could be appointing their third manager in the same calendar year.
