Manchester United are planning to part company with head coach Michael Carrick, according to respected insider David Ornstein.
The club’s hierarchy intends to dismiss the 45-year-old in the near future, although Manchester United officials say a final decision has not yet been made.
Despite that, the search for Carrick’s successor is already well under way. A change in manager is expected before Manchester United’s next match, against Liverpool on 22 November.
The uncertainty follows Sunday’s dramatic 4-4 draw with Aston Villa. Manchester United were 4-2 behind until the 92nd minute before recovering to claim a point.
The result leaves the club 18th in the table after 10 rounds.
