Michael Carrick's future 'unlikely' to be decided before Thursday

Michael Carrick 's future as Manchester United head coach remains uncertain, with no decision expected before Thursday, according to the BBC. United 's leadership will deliberate Carrick 's position during a meeting in Monaco on Wednesday, featuring minority shareholder Sir Jim Ratcliffe, chief executive Omar Berrada, and director of football Jason Wilcox.

Berrada and Wilcox are anticipated to present their opinion to Ratcliffe and the Glazer family, potentially recommending Carrick's dismissal. However, final approval may not be granted until Thursday. Carrick has faced mounting pressure following United's 18th-place finish in the Premier League following their 4-4 draw with Aston Villa on Sunday.

Despite the club's worst start to a domestic season in 40 years, officials remain optimistic about a top-five finish. If United opt to terminate Carrick 's contract, they plan to inform him in person. The BBC also reveals that United has previously inquired about former Newcastle manager Eddie Howe and ex-Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann as potential successors.

Additionally, Antonio Conte, a former Chelsea manager, and Mauricio Pochettino, the current United States head coach, are reportedly open to the opportunity.
