Carrick's Man Utd Future to Be Decided at Wednesday Meeting

Manchester United have kept Michael Carrick in charge after Carrington crisis talks, despite a dismal run of just two wins in all competitions this season.

United kept Carrick due to financial concerns after INEOS considered Eddie Howe the ideal immediate successor. Their last Premier League victory came in August, leaving the 20-time English league champions with a struggling squad and mounting pressure.

Carrick Holds Squad Meeting

Sky Sports revealed that Carrick held an all-squad meeting to clear the air ahead of Saturday’s match against Chelsea. Players and coaching staff admitted they have let the club down, acknowledging a squad-wide underperformance.

The individual meeting between Carrick and Fernandes was in addition to an all-squad meeting, where there was a renewed determination from all the players and staff that performances have to improve immediately. There was also a mutual admission, we are told, that there has been a squad-wide underperformance so far this season.

Bruno Fernandes is set for reintegration into the squad after peace talks with the head coach, following an extraordinary attack after the Como loss and being benched for the Bournemouth fixture.

Managers on Club Radar

Carrick has been given until the November international break to steady the ship. INEOS might backtrack on his position if the team secures a positive result in London against the Blues.

Other names on the club’s radar include Julian Nagelsmann, Antonio Conte, Fabian Hurzeler, and Unai Emery, though the latter two are likely to cost a fortune and are unlikely to leave their posts mid-season.
