Carrick's future under discussion as board awaits decision

According to Sky Sports News, Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick's position is increasingly being questioned. However, the club has not yet made a firm decision. The board is carrying out a full review of the team's performance this season. The review is being led by sporting director Jason Wilcox, and a decision is planned to be announced before the international break ends.

Carrick had been given time away from management for three more games after the 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth two weeks ago. However, the team has still not won in its eighth consecutive Premier League match. After the 4-4 draw with Aston Villa, United dropped into the relegation zone and recorded its worst Premier League start.

There are serious doubts over whether Carrick will still be in charge for the Liverpool match at Anfield in two weeks' time. The board wants results to improve but wants to be sure of the direction it takes the team in. If Carrick is dismissed, the board wants a permanent solution rather than an interim head coach. However, no substantive talks with other candidates have taken place so far.
