Manchester United are considering parting ways with head coach Michael Carrick following the club’s disappointing start to the 2026/27 Premier League season.
The club’s leadership is expected to discuss Carrick’s future at a meeting in Monaco on Wednesday, with chief executive Omar Berrada, director of football Jason Wilcox and co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe expected to attend.
According to reports, Berrada and Wilcox are likely to recommend Carrick’s dismissal, although no final decision has been announced.
United have struggled in the league this season, winning only one of their opening 10 matches and failing to secure a victory since August.
The Red Devils are currently in the relegation zone, their lowest position at this stage of a top-flight campaign since the 1986/87 season.
Meanwhile, United have reportedly opened discussions with former Tottenham and Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino over the possibility of replacing Carrick.
Pochettino, who currently manages the United States national team, previously worked in the Premier League with Southampton, Tottenham and Chelsea.
The 54-year-old signed a contract extension with the US national team in August, reportedly including a $10 million release clause.
Other managers linked with the Manchester United job include former Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe and ex-Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann.
Carrick was appointed permanently after leading United to a third-place finish during his interim spell last season.
However, the team’s poor results this campaign have increased pressure on the former United midfielder, with Wednesday’s meeting expected to determine his future at Old Trafford.
