Carrick set to be sacked by Man Utd: reports

Michael Carrick is set to be sacked by Manchester United after his side's dismal start to the season, according to reports on Tuesday.

United's hierarchy have been conducting an internal review of the club's miserable form.

United are in the midst of their worst opening to a campaign in 40 years, leaving them languishing in the Premier League relegation zone after an eight-match winless run.

It is believed Carrick's future will be decided at a meeting attended by influential shareholder Jim Ratcliffe, chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox in Monaco on Wednesday.

Although it is said that no final decision has been made, Berrada and Wilcox are reportedly leaning towards dismissing Carrick.

Ratcliffe and United owners the Glazer family would then decide whether to act on that recommendation, with an announcement potentially coming on Thursday.

Carrick was seen arriving at United's Carrington training base on Tuesday, but it appears to be only a matter of time before his turbulent reign comes to an end.

The 45-year-old had been granted a stay of execution after he was widely expected to be axed in late October following a 3-0 home defeat by Bournemouth.
