The Monaco summit that will decide the future of Carrick and Man Utd

A crucial summit is set to take place in Monaco on Wednesday that could determine the future of both Carrick and Manchester United's head coach. Chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox are attending the regular meeting to discuss the club's strategy, with the main agenda item being Carrick's future. It is widely expected that Berrada and Wilcox will recommend Carrick's departure, a decision that would come as a surprise to recent minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who invested heavily in the club's future.

United currently sit in the relegation zone after an underwhelming start to the season, with only one win from their first ten games. Ratcliffe, whose home is in Monaco and who has company offices there, hosted the meeting as it is one of his regular pre-planned gatherings with Berrada and Wilcox. The location of the meeting in Monaco is not directly related to the discussion on Carrick's future, but rather a coincidence as it is one of the most pressing issues to be addressed.
