Michael Carrick sack decision twist as Manchester United delay decision again

Manchester United has delayed a decision on head coach Michael Carrick's future despite widespread reports that he was set to be dismissed. Carrick arrived at Carrington on Tuesday to oversee training with the remaining squad members during the international break. A final verdict has reportedly been pushed back while senior club leaders meet to deliberate the situation.

Chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox traveled to Monaco for a scheduled Wednesday meeting with minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the Glazer family. Club executives are expected to recommend dismissing Carrick, though keeping him has not been entirely ruled out. Mauricio Pochettino is reportedly viewed as the frontrunner to replace him if a change occurs.
