Manchester United chiefs are reportedly in agreement on three points that could lead them to decide against sacking manager Michael Carrick, according to the latest reports. The club currently sits in the Premier League relegation zone, placing the former midfielder under significant pressure.
Widespread reports on Monday night claimed that Carrick was on the verge of being sacked. It was reported that Omar Berrarda and Jason Wilcox were set to recommend the decision to co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe in a meeting on Tuesday.
Three reasons for delay
However, the latest reports from Sky Sports suggest a decision is not as close as it seems. The reports outline three reasons why the board are taking their time: the supporters' reaction, the squad's support, and the difference changing the manager will make.
These three points are said to be the focus of the board's deliberations, potentially leading them to reconsider sacking Carrick.
