Manager sacked
Premier League
Michael Carrick arrives at Carrington with Manchester United decision set for today
Summarised by MatchPal
Carrick takes training as normal while Berrada and Wilcox meet Ratcliffe in Monaco to recommend his sacking after United's poor start.
Michael Carrick arrived at Carrington at 7.45am on Wednesday to lead training for first-team players not on international duty, but his position as Manchester United head coach is expected to be decided at an Ineos summit in Monaco today.
Chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox are set to recommend to co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe that Carrick be sacked, with the club in the Premier League relegation zone after 10 games and only one win. The decision requires sign-off from the Glazer family, and Berrada and Wilcox plan to deliver the news in person, meaning Carrick may not be told until Thursday.
Carrick narrowly survived the sack two weeks ago following defeats to Como and Bournemouth but was given a chance to prove himself. Since then, United's performances have improved — they drew with Aston Villa from 4-2 down and beat Roma in the Champions League — but have conceded eight goals in three games.
Berrada and Wilcox held talks on Monday and concluded they have lost faith in his ability to reverse the club's dire situation.
