Man Utd expected to sack head coach Carrick

Manchester United are contemplating the sack of head coach Michael Carrick, according to multiple sources. The club initially retained Carrick following their 3-0 home loss to Bournemouth on October 25th, with the intention to reassess his position during the current month's international break. Despite this, there are indications that the board is set to recommend to minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the Glazer family that Carrick's services are no longer required.

This comes after United's worst start to a domestic season in 40 years, as they currently sit 18th in the league table. Reports suggest that former Newcastle manager Eddie Howe, former Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann, and ex-Chelsea boss Antonio Conte are all among the prominent candidates being considered for the role. Additionally, former Tottenham Hotspur coach Mauricio Pochettino, who recently signed a contract extension with the USA national team in August, is reportedly open to a move to Old Trafford, though his current deal contains clauses that could allow him to leave for high-profile opportunities.
