Carrick's Man Utd future to be decided at Wednesday meeting
Michael Carrick arrived at Manchester United's training ground on Tuesday
Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick's future will be decided at a meeting attended by owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and executives Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox in Monaco on Wednesday.
Carrick's position is under threat after the club slipped to 18th in the Premier League following a chaotic 4-4 draw with Aston Villa on Sunday.
BBC Sport reported on Monday there was a growing expectation chief executive Berrada and director of football Wilcox would recommend to minority owner Ratcliffe and the Glazer family that Carrick be sacked.
Berrada and Wilcox will present their recommendation, though a decision on Carrick's future may not come until Thursday.
Wednesday's meeting in Monaco, which is where Ratcliffe is based, was planned and has not been organised to strictly discuss Carrick's future. Though it is expected to focus on Carrick's future, sources say one item set to be part of the talks is whether to bolster his coaching team.
If the decision to sack Carrick is made at the meeting, the club want to inform him face to face.
United have made their worst start to a domestic campaign in 40 years.
BBC Sport reported in October that United had sounded out former Newcastle boss Eddie Howe and ex-Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann over replacing Carrick.
Former Chelsea coach Antonio Conte is known to be keen on the role, while multiple sources have told BBC Sport that former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino is open to a move to Old Trafford.
