Michael Carrick's Time as Manchester United Manager Set to End

Manchester United will decide this week whether head coach Michael Carrick, who has made the worst league start in 40 years, will keep his job. The team has won just 1 of 10 matches and entered the international break in the relegation zone. The 4-4 draw with Aston Villa was the final straw.

According to The Athletic, management gave Carrick one last chance after the team recorded just one win in its last 4 matches. It was during this period that taking action began to be discussed. Football Director Jason Wilcox and CEO Omar Berrada will make the final decision to be presented to the club's owners this week.

Carrick, who took charge six months ago, is reportedly seen as almost certain to be dismissed before the Liverpool derby, which is 13 days away. Denying resignation rumors after the Aston Villa match, Carrick stressed that the direction the club needs to take is very clear and that matches must be won.
