Carrick's position at Old Trafford has been the subject of intense speculation following United's worst start to a season in 40 years, leaving them languishing in the Premier League relegation zone after an eight-match winless run.
Manchester United have opened talks with United States head coach Mauricio Pochettino about replacing Michael Carrick as manager, the BBC and other British media reported Wednesday.
Carrick's position at Old Trafford has been the subject of intense speculation following United's worst start to a season in 40 years, leaving them languishing in the Premier League relegation zone after an eight-match winless run.
He remains in post but 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.
Berrada and Wilcox are reportedly leaning towards dismissing Carrick.
Pochettino has extensive experience of the Premier League following spells in charge of Southampton, Tottenham and Chelsea.
United are understood to have spoken to the former Argentina defender about their managerial position on three previous occasions -- when Jose Mourinho was sacked in 2018, then in 2022 before the club appointed Erik ten Hag and again when the Dutchman was sacked in 2024.
