Man Utd open talks with Pochettino about replacing Carrick
Carrick's future at United will be decided at a meeting in Monaco on Wednesdaythat will be attended by chief executive Omar Berrada, director of football Jason Wilcox and co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
Manchester United have dealt the final blow to Michael Carrick's managerial tenure, with Mauricio Pochettino now set to become his replacement. The Athletic reports that United are close to finalizing a deal to hire Pochettino, ending Carrick's difficult start to the Premier League season. Carrick's team has struggled, sitting in the relegation zone after just one victory this campaign, against newly-promoted Ipswich Town.
United have managed a dismal eight points from their opening ten games. Despite the dismissal being imminent, Carrick was present at Carrington for training today, unaware of his fate. He arrived at 7:45 am and conducted a training session with first-team players and academy youngsters, highlighting the club's seemingly indifferent handling of the situation.
Pochettino's appointment appears inevitable, with United's handling of Carrick's dismissal further emphasizing their incompetence. The Glazers, United's owners, are expected to be present during the announcement, alongside new owner Richard Ratcliffe. United's next match is against Liverpool at Anfield on November 22.
