Manchester United extend Carrick's wait as board stalls decision

At about 7:45 on Tuesday, the training ground at Carrington buzzed as Michael Carrick arrived to run Manchester United's session.

Since taking charge in the 2026/27 campaign, Carrick has managed a win rate of just 31.11%.

The manager has been under intense pressure, yet he secured another day at the helm.

The club’s board has pushed back the meeting that will decide his future to Wednesday the 11th, citing poor results and a campaign that has left United hovering near the Premier League relegation zone.

A video conference involving CEO Omar Berrada, football director Jason Wilcox and owner Jim Ratcliffe was expected to settle the issue that day, but the decision was deferred.

Instead, the three executives will meet in person in Monaco to assess the situation and determine the next steps.

The club is expected to announce its position on Thursday the 12th, after the Monaco meeting.

Rumours have intensified that Mauricio Pochettino could be a leading candidate should United choose to dismiss Carrick.
