Manchester United are reportedly preparing to part ways with head coach Michael Carrick following the club’s disappointing start to the 2026/27 English Premier League season.

According to a report by BBC Sport, the future of the former United midfielder is expected to dominate discussions at a meeting involving the club’s senior leadership in Monaco on Wednesday.

Those expected at the meeting include chief executive Omar Berrada, director of football Jason Wilcox and co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

Berrada and Wilcox are reportedly expected to recommend Carrick’s dismissal as the club considers a managerial change following a difficult run of results.

Manchester United have managed just one victory in their opening 10 league matches and have gone eight consecutive Premier League games without a win, leaving them in the relegation zone.

The club’s position represents its worst standing at this stage of a top-flight campaign since the 1986/87 season, when United were 20th.

Meanwhile, United have reportedly opened discussions with former Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino over the possibility of taking charge at Old Trafford should Carrick leave.

The 54-year-old Argentine currently manages the United States men’s national team, a position he assumed in September 2024. He reportedly renewed his contract in August, with a $10m (£7.5m) release clause.

Pochettino has previously been considered for the Manchester United managerial position on three occasions: following Jose Mourinho’s departure in 2018, before Erik ten Hag’s appointment in 2022, and after Ten Hag’s dismissal in 2024.

During his managerial career in England, Pochettino guided Tottenham to the 2019 UEFA Champions League final after previously managing Southampton. He also had spells at Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea.

Carrick’s current predicament follows a difficult campaign in which United have struggled to reproduce the form that helped secure Champions League qualification last season.

Although the club’s hierarchy is reportedly considering a change, a final decision on the manager’s future had not been officially confirmed at the time of the report.

Wednesday’s meeting is therefore expected to be crucial in determining whether Carrick remains in charge or United begin another managerial transition.
