EPL: Man United set to part ways with Carrick — Report

Manchester United are poised to part ways with head coach Michael Carrick, according to reports from BBC Sport. The club's leadership, comprising chief executive Omar Berrada, director of football Jason Wilcox, and co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, are set to meet in Monaco on Wednesday to discuss Carrick's future. Berrada and Wilcox are expected to recommend his dismissal, as United grapple with a challenging season that has seen them win only one of their first ten Premier League matches and fail to secure a victory since August.

Their current standings in the relegation zone represent their worst position at this stage of a top-flight season since the 1986-87 campaign. Meanwhile, United has reportedly engaged in discussions with former Tottenham and Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino regarding the possibility of him taking charge at Old Trafford. Carrick, who is currently managing the United States national team, has a $10 million release clause in his contract.

Pochettino, previously linked with the Manchester United job on three occasions, boasts a successful track record in the Premier League with Southampton and Tottenham, as well as time at Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea. The outcome of Wednesday's meeting could significantly impact the next chapter in Manchester United's managerial journey.
