Nine Man Utd players set to follow Michael Carrick out the door in mass exodus if boss is sacked

Manchester United manager Michael Carrick is reportedly on the verge of being sacked following a disastrous start to the season. The Daily Mirror reports that as many as nine first-team players could potentially leave Old Trafford alongside or following the manager's expected departure, as the club sits 18th in the Premier League table after winning just one of their opening 10 matches.

The writer identifies senior players including Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martinez, Mason Mount, Bruno Fernandes, and Marcus Rashford as candidates who could depart. Joshua Zirkzee, Kobbie Mainoo, Luke Shaw, and veteran goalkeeper Tom Heaton are also named by the publication as squad members facing uncertain futures under any incoming managerial regime.
