Manchester United are moving towards sacking their manager, Michael Carrick, though no final decision has been made by the Premier League giants.
The club opted to stick with the English tactician after the side’s 3–0 home defeat by Bournemouth on 25 October, with the intention of reassessing the situation during this month’s international break.
The result was followed by a 2–0 loss to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and a dramatic 3–2 comeback win against Roma in the UEFA Champions League (UCL).

However, the 4–4 draw with Aston Villa on Sunday means United, who are 18th in the table, have made their worst start to a domestic campaign in 40 years.
According to the BBC, Jason Wilcox, Manchester United’s director of football, is currently leading the review after the head coach was given the Chelsea, Roma, and Aston Villa games to turn results around.
Wilcox has been consulting with Omar Berrada, the chief executive, before a recommendation regarding Carrick is made to Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who controls sporting policy.
If Carrick is removed, Mauricio Pochettino has emerged as a potential candidate, as it is understood the USA head coach is open to the position, while sources indicate that Eddie Howe also remains on Wilcox’s radar.
