EX-MIDDLESBROUGH boss Michael Carrick reported for training on Tuesday despite his days as Manchester United head coach appearing to be numbered as the club review his position and consider alternatives.
Manchester United are reviewing the position of head coach Michael Carrick during the November international break as the club sits 18th in the Premier League. Carrick arrived for training on Tuesday despite growing expectations that he could be dismissed following a 4-4 draw against Aston Villa. Club officials Jason Wilcox and Omar Berrada are reportedly meeting in Monaco with co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe to evaluate the managerial situation.
While former Newcastle manager Eddie Howe and Julian Nagelsmann were previously considered frontrunners to replace Carrick, United States men's national team manager Mauricio Pochettino has now emerged as the leading contender. United previously considered a managerial change following losses to Como and Bournemouth, but Carrick remained in charge for matches against Chelsea, Roma, and Villa. United's next match is against Liverpool on November 22.
