Manchester United look set to swing the ax once again as Michael Carrick comes under increasing pressure. The 45-year-old’s tenure at Old Trafford is in jeopardy just months after signing a two-year contract following a disastrous week that included a 4-1 defeat at Como and a 3-0 drubbing at home to Bournemouth.
United club officials arrived at Carrington on Monday with Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox to hold crisis talks over Carrick’s future. The decision was scrutinized after their tepid 3-0 defeat to the Cherries on Sunday, as the full-time reaction felt the result was inevitable for Carrick.
Having put on a defiant front on Friday, ahead of Bournemouth’s visit, their mistakes have continued, leaving the former midfielder in a perilous position as potential successors line up to take the Old Trafford hotseat. United have a decision to make with a trip to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea this weekend.
Manchester Evening News Writers have their opinion on who should replace Carrick, here.
