Manchester United Consider Dismissing Carrick After Poor Premier League Run.

 

Manchester United chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox are expected to recommend that manager Michael Carrick be relieved of his duties following the club’s poor run of form.

According to the Mail Online, Berrada and Wilcox travelled to the south of France on Tuesday to attend a scheduled meeting of Ineos executives.

The pair are expected to present their recommendation to minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe on Wednesday, amid growing concerns over United’s alarming decline into the Premier League relegation zone.

However, sources at the club insist that no final decision has been made. Any move to dismiss Carrick would also require the approval of co-chairmen Joel and Avram Glazer.

Former Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has reportedly emerged as the leading candidate to replace the 45-year-old. However, securing the Argentine’s release from his contract with the United States national team could cost the club an additional £7 million.

The Old Trafford hierarchy is also said to prefer communicating any decision to Carrick in person, meaning an official announcement may not be made until Thursday.

If dismissed, Carrick would become Manchester United’s second managerial departure this year, leaving the club searching for a third permanent head coach since he replaced Ruben Amorim in January.
