Carrick future at Man United in doubt after Villa draw
Carrick future at Man United in doubt after Villa draw

Michael Carrick's future as Manchester United manager is back under scrutiny following a chaotic 4-4 draw with Aston Villa in the Premier League. The result leaves United third from bottom in the table with just one win this season.

The draw at Old Trafford against Unai Emery's side has brought renewed calls for a change, despite the pressure on Carrick having been eased by a comeback victory over AS Roma earlier in the week.

Board's stance on Carrick

Club chiefs opted against making a change last month after a defeat to Bournemouth, and the board remain uncertain over what to do next.

Eddie Howe has been touted as one potential candidate, with director of football Jason Wilcox said to want a manager with Premier League experience. However, the former Newcastle United boss is reportedly not as well-liked by others at the club.
