Michael Carrick is set to be sacked as Manchester United manager today after a disastrous start to the season left the club in the Premier League relegation zone.
The Old Trafford hierarchy are set to finally wield the axe following a run that has seen United win just once in the Premier League, leaving them marooned in the relegation zone.
Three-game ultimatum ends in failure
Carrick was given three games to save his job before the international break, but suffered defeat by Chelsea before a stirring comeback saw United beat Roma 3-2.
The Red Devils then drew 4-4 with Aston Villa on Sunday, twice recovering from a two-goal deficit, but it was not enough to save Carrick, with United set to relieve him of his duties today.
Pochettino leads the race to replace him
Mauricio Pochettino is the favourite to succeed Carrick and is reportedly open to the job, while Antonio Conte and Eddie Howe are also in the frame.
