- Michael Carrick faces the sack as Manchester United manager following the club's worst start to a domestic season in 40 years, with the team currently 18th in the Premier League.
- Manchester United's hierarchy, including Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox, are meeting in Monaco to make a decision on Carrick's future.
- United have opened talks with United States manager Mauricio Pochettino to potentially replace Carrick at Old Trafford.
- This is not the first time that the Argentine has been linked with United, but this time, securing Pochettino would require United to trigger an exit clause in his US Soccer contract worth approximately £7.4m ($10m).
- It is reported that a deal is close to being made, but if it falls through, other rumoured options include: Eddie Howe, Julian Nagelsmann, Antonio Conte and Fabian Hurzeler.
