Manchester United hierarchy is increasingly expected to recommend the dismissal of head coach Michael Carrick following the club’s disappointing start to the 2026/27 season.
According to BBC Sport, chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox are preparing to advise minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the Glazer family to relieve the 45-year-old of his duties, though no final decision has been formally reached.
The club had given Carrick until the November international break to turn results around after a 3-0 home defeat to Bournemouth in October, but United remain in 18th place—their worst domestic start in 40 years.
A dramatic 4-4 draw against Aston Villa on Sunday intensified pressure on the manager, leaving the team with just one victory in their last three matches across all competitions, including a loss to Chelsea and a European win over Roma.
United management plans to use the ongoing international break to complete their evaluation of team performance before returning to action against Liverpool on November 22.
