Manchester United Considering Sacking Head Coach Michael Carrick
Manchester United look increasingly likely to sack head coach Michael Carrick. The club initially decided to stick with Carrick after a 3-0 home defeat to Bournemouth on October 25th, intending to reassess during the upcoming international break.
However, according to multiple sources, the board is now leaning towards recommending the sacking of Carrick to Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the Glazer family. The 4-4 draw with Aston Villa has worsened United's form, leaving them in 18th place—their worst start to a domestic campaign in 40 years.
The club has reportedly sounded out potential replacements, including Eddie Howe and Julian Nagelsmann. Antonio Conte is also known to be interested in the role, while Mauricio Pochettino, currently managing the USA national team, is also said to be open to a move to Old Trafford. His current contract includes clauses that could allow him to leave for specific high-profile jobs.
