What now for Man Utd and Carrick?

Manchester United manager Michael Carrick faces an uncertain future as club executives assess his position heading into the international break. United currently sit 18th in the Premier League following a 4-4 draw against Aston Villa, having won only once in 11 league matches.

Sky Sports reports the hierarchy hopes to retain Carrick until the end of the season but may explore alternatives including Julian Nagelsmann, Eddie Howe, and Fabian Hurzeler. Defensive struggles have plagued United, who have conceded 30 goals across all competitions.
