Michael Carrick is expected to be sacked as Manchester United manager after overseeing the club's worst start to a season in four decades. The former Red Devils midfielder has only secured one Premier League victory since taking the job on a permanent basis over the summer, leaving the club in the relegation zone.
Decision Expected Before Liverpool Clash
While a final decision is yet to be made, there is a growing expectation that Carrick will be relieved of his duties before United face Liverpool after the international break. According to The Athletic, work is already underway behind the scenes at Old Trafford to identify his replacement.
Carrick survived a round of crisis talks after the defeat to Bournemouth last month, when it was decided that he would be given a chance to turn things around.
Replacement Candidates
Mauricio Pochettino appears to be among the early favourites, while the likes of Eddie Howe, Antonio Conte and Julian Nagelsmann were considered last month.
