Manchester United are preparing to hold a meeting at Carrington early next week to discuss manager Michael Carrick’s future, according to a report by TEAMtalk citing Graeme Bailey. It comes after the team’s 4-4 draw with Aston Villa, a result that left them third from bottom with eight points from ten Premier League matches.
The meeting had been scheduled before the recent matches, but the result against Villa made Carrick’s future a more pressing issue. The club’s director of football, Jason Wilcox, is expected to play a decisive role in assessing the manager’s situation. The report said the club had examined potential alternatives, including Eddie Howe, Julian Nagelsmann, Antonio Conte and Unai Emery.
Football Insider, meanwhile, reported that United officials would prefer to give Carrick more time, to avoid repeating managerial changes and the compensation costs that followed the departures of Erik ten Hag and Ruben Amorim. The outlet noted that the international break would be an important point for Wilcox to assess the team’s results and sporting direction.
