United not rushing Carrick decision amid worst start

Manchester United are not rushing a decision on the future of manager Michael Carrick despite the club's worst-ever start to a Premier League season. The club plans to use the international break to fully evaluate the season so far and reassess their options, buying some breathing space for a full re-evaluation.

Supporters are not singing for the manager to be sacked. There is a feeling in the boardroom that Carrick and his coaching staff still retain the support of the players. United's bosses remain unconvinced at this stage that changing the head coach will solve the team's problems.

Director of football Jason Wilcox is leading the process to decide Carrick's future in consultation with CEO Omar Berrada and will then make his recommendation to Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

Eddie Howe is ready to take the job and is the preferred replacement for Wilcox.

Manchester United have conceded 30 goals in Europe's top five leagues this season, more than any other club.
