Manchester United's senior figures are meeting in Monaco today to discuss the future of manager Michael Carrick, with the club's leadership expected to receive a recommendation to dismiss him. Sir Jim Ratcliffe, chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox are gathering in the principality, where Carrick's position will be the main topic of conversation.
Poor Run of Results
Carrick has won only one of his ten Premier League matches this season, leaving United in 18th place in the table. Although a comeback victory over Roma brought fresh energy to the club, and a dramatic 4-4 draw with Aston Villa carried that momentum forward, the manager's tenure is still expected to end during the international break.
The poor domestic form has put Carrick under intense pressure, and the meeting in Monaco is seen as the decisive moment for his future at Old Trafford.
Pochettino Deal 'Being Finalised'
Mauricio Pochettino has emerged as the frontrunner to take over from Carrick, with a deal to appoint the former Tottenham and Chelsea boss now reportedly 'being finalised'. No official confirmation has been made by the club, but the Argentine is widely expected to be the next man in the dugout.
The coming days are likely to bring clarity on both Carrick's exit and the identity of his successor as United look to turn their season around.
