BBC • • sports
Key Points:
- Manchester United's chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox are meeting in Monaco to decide Michael Carrick's future as head coach, with a recommendation expected to be for his dismissal.
- The club is struggling in the Premier League, currently 18th after a poor start to the season, prompting serious concerns about leadership and performance.
- Alternatives to Carrick include adding coaching support such as Bayern Munich's Aaron Danks, or appointing a new head coach, with Mauricio Pochettino, Eddie Howe, Antonio Conte, and Julian Nagelsmann among the potential candidates.
- The Glazer family, who hold significant board influence, will need to approve any decision regarding Carrick's future, adding complexity to the process.
- Despite fan discontent and poor results, Ratcliffe retains faith in Berrada and Wilcox, but their continued collaboration with Carrick would be difficult if he remains in charge.
