Manchester United manager Michael Carrick
Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick is set for the sack following the club’s poor run of form.
The English coach has been under pressure following a disastrous start to the season at the English Premier League club.
According to multiple reliable media reports, the former interim manager who got the job on a permanent basis in the summer will be sacked by the owners following a meeting with the club’s football executives.
The meeting will be holding days after Carrick saw his side come from behind twice to draw 4-4 against Aston Villa, including conceding twice in the first four minutes of the match for the first time in the club’s history.
The meeting has been slated for Monaco tomorrow, where club co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe will host Chief Executive Omar Berrada and Director of Football Jason Wilcox.
The meeting will also involve the Glazers’ family, also club co-owners, and both Berrada and Wilcox are set to recommend Carrick’s sack.
Under Carrick this season, Man United are also in 18th position, slipping into relegation place for the first time in the EPL era.
It is also the club’s worst start to the season in 40 years.
The 45-year-old former club captain, however, took training on Tuesday morning as the decision to sack him might take until Thursday to be confirmed.
The Red Devils have won just once in the league this season, and only three matches in 15 official games in all competitions this season.
They are currently on an eight-match winless streak in the EPL. (Daily Trust)
