Manchester United manager Michael Carrick arrived at the club's Carrington training ground at 7:15 a.m. on Tuesday amid mounting speculation that he could be dismissed later today, according to reports from GOAL.com.
The 45-year-old former United midfielder, who took charge of the first team on an interim basis before being appointed permanently, has come under intense pressure following a run of poor results in the 2026/27 Premier League season. The club's upcoming fixture against Aston Villa has added urgency to the situation.
Former Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino is reportedly the leading candidate to succeed Carrick should the club decide to make a change. The Argentine has been out of management since leaving his previous post and is said to be open to a return to the Premier League.
United's hierarchy is expected to make a final decision on Carrick's future in the coming hours, with the team's preparation for the Aston Villa match hanging in the balance.
