  "account": "Michael Carrick may be fired by Manchester United on Wednesday, according to reports, as the club's performance has been disappointing this season. The Premier League side is currently in the relegation zone after a run of eight consecutive losses. Carrick's fate will be decided during an internal review meeting in Monaco on Wednesday, with influential shareholder Jim Ratcliffe, chief executive Omar Berrada, and director of football Jason Wilcox in attendance. While no final decision has been made, Berrada and Wilcox are said to favor Carrick's dismissal. United owners, the Glazer family, will eventually decide whether to follow through with Berrada and Wilcox's recommendation, potentially announcing their decision on Thursday. Carrick, 45, was recently seen at the club's Carrington training base but his tenure appears to be near its end. Since taking over as permanent manager in the off-season, Carrick has presided over United's decline to 18th place, their lowest position in a top-flight season since 1986-87. He was previously hired after Ruben Amorim's volatile tenure ended in January and led United to a third-place finish in the Premier League. Despite his initial success, Carrick's team has struggled defensively, often trailing by two goals, and their performance has deteriorated further this season due to a lack of new signings in the transfer window.",
