Manchester United are reportedly expected to sack manager Michael Carrick following a disastrous start to the season that has left the club in the Premier League relegation zone. Carrick has overseen United's worst domestic campaign start in 40 years, managing just one victory in the first 10 league matches. While a final decision has yet to be finalized, the club is leaning heavily toward a managerial change this week.
