Michael Carrick left Manchester United's Carrington training ground at 5pm on Monday after spending just over three hours there, as talks continue over whether he remains the club's head coach.
The 45-year-old arrived at 1.50pm to watch the Under-21s face Hull City in a behind-closed-doors match, before departing with his son Jacey, who is in the club's academy, three hours and 10 minutes later.
Uncertainty Over Carrick's Position
It remains unclear whether Carrick has been sacked by United following a poor start to the season. The team have won only two of their first 12 games and are winless in eight, with heavy defeats to Como in the Champions League and Bournemouth in the Premier League.
Director of football Jason Wilcox also left Carrington, having arrived just before 9am. Chief executive Omar Berrada arrived 30 seconds behind Wilcox, also before 9am.
Crisis Talks and Fan Reaction
Crisis talks over Carrick's future have taken place during the day, while supporters made their feelings clear during the 3-0 loss to Bournemouth. They sang Carrick's name, directed abuse at Wilcox and Berrada, and booed the players off the pitch.
Asked whether he expected to be sacked after the Bournemouth defeat, Carrick said: "I totally understand the situation. I'm not expecting anything in particular, to be honest. Carrying on as normal, and you know, I love this place. I'll always do what I feel is going to be best for the football club, whatever decision is made on anything, really. So that's kind of it. I'm not expecting anything either way."
He added: "I take the responsibility. Of course, I take responsibility. I've said that, and I accept the responsibility. Whatever is going to happen results-wise, whether we win, we lose, draw, whatever happens through the whole football club, I'm in this position because I respect the position that I'm in, and the responsibility is mine. What else can I say, really, right now?"
