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 reportedly reached a "verbal agreement in principle" with Mauricio Pochettino to replace Michael Carrick as their manager in a bid to revive the fortunes of the struggling English giants.
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.
United States head coach Pochettino has extensive experience of the Premier League following spells in charge of Southampton, Tottenham and Chelsea.
It was only three months ago, however, that Pochettino signed a contract extension to remain with the United States through to the 2030 World Cup.
US Soccer would be due compensation should he move to Manchester, with the 54-year-old understood to have a $10 million (£7.5 million) release clause.
