Michael Carrick is close to being dismissed as Manchester United's head coach following a poor start to the season. The team sits 18th in the Premier League, having secured just one league win and suffering a recent 4-4 draw against Aston Villa. Despite a previous strong performance leading to his permanent appointment in May, recent results have led to growing concerns about the club's direction. Reports indicate that the decision regarding Carrick's future may be finalized before the club returns from the international break, with Mauricio Pochettino, Eddie Howe, and Julian Nagelsmann mentioned as candidates for the role.
