Michael Carrick survived crisis talks with Manchester United's hierarchy on Monday but his future remains uncertain after a 3-0 home defeat to Bournemouth.
Michael Carrick survived talks with Manchester United's hierarchy on Monday but remains in an uncertain position at the club. The discussions followed a humiliating 3-0 home defeat to Bournemouth on Sunday, which extended United's winless run to seven matches. The club have now dropped to 16th place with just seven points from a possible 24.
Technical director Jason Wilcox and CEO Omar Berrada met at Carrington training ground to discuss Carrick's future and explore potential replacements. Carrick attended the training complex on Monday afternoon to watch the Under-21s play a behind-closed-doors match against Hull City before leaving a few hours later. Despite the uncertain situation, he is continuing preparations for this weekend's trip to Chelsea in the Premier League as usual, with the first-team squad due back for training on Tuesday.
The Independent reports that if United decide to sack Carrick, former Newcastle manager Eddie Howe and Julian Nagelsmann, the ex-Bayern Munich head coach, are the leading candidates. Aston Villa's Unai Emery and Brighton's Fabian Hurzeler are also admired but their clubs would demand significant compensation. This would be United's fourth permanent managerial change in three years since Ineos took control of football operations.
