Manchester United Weigh Carrick's Future as Pochettino Emerges
Manchester United's board is reviewing Michael Carrick's position during the international break, with Mauricio Pochettino and Eddie Howe linked to the job.
Michael Carrick's future in the Manchester United dugout is under serious threat, with the club's hierarchy using the international break to take a hard look at his position and the wider state of the team.
No decision had been made as of Monday evening, but one is expected in the near future as the Premier League club's board continues its assessment.
Pochettino and Howe in the frame
USA national team head coach Mauricio Pochettino has emerged as a possible successor. His contract reportedly includes a clause that would allow him to leave, and according to talkSPORT, the Argentine would be open to taking the Old Trafford job if United made contact. Eddie Howe is also among the names being considered.
A broader review behind the scenes
The discussions at United are not limited to the manager. Internal talks are examining the reasons behind the club's difficult situation, with Carrick's position and possible moves in the January transfer window both on the agenda.
