Manchester United are reportedly set to terminate Michael Carrick’s tenure as head coach with immediate effect following the club’s disappointing run of results.
The decision is believed to have followed discussions between co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox during a meeting in Monaco on Wednesday.
Carrick has faced mounting criticism after United recorded just one win in their opening 10 Premier League fixtures, leaving the club in the relegation zone.
The club’s hierarchy is now understood to be considering a managerial change, with former Tottenham and Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino emerging as the preferred replacement.
Reports suggest United have reached an agreement in principle with the Argentine, although discussions over his release from the United States national team are still ongoing.
