Michael Carrick latest: Man Utd hierarchy meet to discuss manager’s future and open talks with Mauricio Pochettino

With the decision over Carrick’s future to be made in Monaco, the current United manager has arrived at the Carrington training ground to continue on as normal.

With the international break now in full flow, Carrick is taking training with the members of United’s squad not chosen to for international duty.

Carrick’s handling of the situation and speculation has been admired but, like all of us, he is waiting for an update on his situation.

Manchester United have opened talks with USMNT boss Mauricio Pochettino as they explore their options to replace Michael Carrick.

Pochettino and the club are reportedly ‘close’ to agreeing a deal after talks on Tuesday between United and representatives for the Argentine.

According to The Athletic, no issues over personal terms are anticipated but United would have to trigger an exit clause in Pochettino’s US Soccer contract which is worth $10m (£7.4m).

Securing Pochettino services would also come with the additional expense of compensation for his staff who will join him at Old Trafford.

Let’s run down where things are currently at in regards to Michael Carrick’s future at Manchester United.

No decision over his future has yet been made but signs are pointing to the current boss facing the sack as early as today.

Carrick’s United have struggled this season with only one win in the Premier League and the team sitting 18th in the table after 10 games.

The powers that be at Old Trafford are set to meet today in Monaco to discuss the next steps for the club with those discussions set to revolve around the future of Carrick as manager.

The Manchester United fans have been vocal in support of Carrick, especially in the wake of a comeback victory over Roma last week and another comeback to draw 4-4 with Aston Villa in the league on Sunday.

United are also reportedly undergoing due diligence on possible replacements for Carrick with Mauricio Pochettino currently the favourite to step into the dugout if Carrick is sacked.

It could be a day of movement for Manchester United as the club’s hierarchy are set to meet in Monaco to discuss the future of manager Michael Carrick.

Chief Executive Officer Omar Berrada and Director of Football Jason Wilcox are set to meet with minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe to discuss the next moves for the club after United’s worst start to a season in 40 years.

The club are sitting inside the relegation zone after 10 Premier League matches and the decision whether to stick or twist with Carrick is set to be made at some point on Wednesday.
