Manchester United directors meet in Monaco to decide Carrick's future
BBC reported that Manchester United directors met in Monaco to decide whether to retain head coach Michael Carrick or appoint a replacement. Earlier, after a dramatic 4-4 Premier League draw with Aston Villa that left United in the relegation zone, the club announced a meeting to review Carrick's position (London Evening Standard).
Sky Sports said United would use the international break to assess his tenure and noted that former Argentina defender Mauricio Pochettino was reportedly open to talks about a possible move (Sky Sports). Former player Paul Merson also argued that the club's recruitment strategy, rather than Carrick, was responsible for the early-season struggles (Sky Sports).
