Michael Carrick, head coach of Manchester United, learns his fate at a Monaco meeting on Wednesday, BBC Sport reports, although the club may not announce anything before Thursday.
Minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox are due to attend. BBC Sport reports that Berrada and Wilcox are expected to recommend dismissal to Ratcliffe and the Glazer family, who will also be consulted. The Evening Standard adds that Carrick still took training at Carrington on Tuesday and that his staying has not been ruled out. Sky Sports News says the hierarchy plans to use the international break to review the season and has not rushed a decision.
On our table, United are 18th on eight points from ten games (one win, five draws, four defeats), one point above bottom club Crystal Palace, with 19 goals conceded. Their next league game is at Liverpool. The Standard names Mauricio Pochettino, now coaching the USA, as frontrunner should Carrick go, with former Newcastle boss Eddie Howe, ex-Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann and former Chelsea coach Antonio Conte also interested.
