Manchester United expected to sack Michael Carrick after disastrous start

Manchester United are increasingly likely to sack head coach Michael Carrick following the club's disastrous start to the Premier League season, according to some information.

Chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox are expected to recommend his dismissal to minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the Glazer family. However, no final decision has been made.

United's 4-4 draw against Aston Villa on Sunday left them 18th in the table, marking their worst start to a domestic campaign in 40 years. They have managed just one league victory in their opening 10 matches.

The club had previously decided to give Carrick more time after the 3-0 home defeat against Bournemouth on 25 October, with the November international break identified as an opportunity to reassess his position.

Several potential replacements have already been linked with the job. Eddie Howe and Julian Nagelsmann were among the names previously considered, while Mauricio Pochettino is reportedly open to taking charge at Old Trafford.

Carrick signed a two-year contract last summer, but his future now appears increasingly uncertain as United prepare for a crucial period in their campaign.
