Carrick's future at Man Utd uncertain as Pochettino is linked

Reports say steps have been taken towards removing Michael Carrick from his post at Manchester United, but the review being carried out by football director Jason Wilcox has not yet concluded. Carrick had been given until the Chelsea, Roma and Aston Villa matches to get results. The Daily Telegraph, meanwhile, wrote that the club is avoiding a hasty decision despite sitting in the relegation zone.

USA head coach Mauricio Pochettino has emerged as a leading candidate. According to The Sun, Pochettino could consider a return to the Premier League. Eddie Howe and former Germany head coach Julian Nagelsmann also have fans at the club.

Eddie Howe has reportedly turned down an offer from Crystal Palace, who are looking for a replacement for Pierre Sage.

Elsewhere, Paul Scholes described the Man Utd players' lap of honour after the match as 'shameful'. Gary Neville, meanwhile, had suggested that the squad had caused itself 'emotional damage' through this practice.
