Manchester United are poised to part ways with manager Michael Carrick this week, according to The Athletic.
The Red Devils have endured a dismal Premier League campaign, collecting just eight points from their first ten matches.
Although United salvaged a dramatic stoppage-time draw against Aston Villa after trailing 4-2, the result will not alter the club’s stance on Carrick’s future.
The hierarchy has already decided to dismiss the manager, and a successor is being lined up behind the scenes.
The international break has granted the board additional time to finalize the appointment, with Carrick expected to depart once his replacement is ready to assume control.
United’s worst-ever start to a Premier League season leaves them facing a daunting trip to Liverpool after the break, prompting the club to act now rather than await the outcome of the Manchester derby later this month.
