Manchester United are reportedly edging closer to parting ways with head coach Michael Carrick following a disappointing start to the 2026/27 campaign that has left the club struggling near the bottom of the Premier League table.
According to BBC Sport, senior figures at Old Trafford are increasingly in favor of recommending Carrick’s dismissal, although the club has yet to make a final decision.
Chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox are expected to present their recommendation to minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the Glazer family, who will ultimately decide whether the 45-year-old remains in charge.
Carrick’s position has come under intense scrutiny after United’s performances continued to fall short of expectations. Following a humiliating 3-0 home defeat to Bournemouth on October 25, the club initially decided against making an immediate managerial change, giving the former United midfielder until the November international break to turn things around.
However, the expected improvement has not materialized.
United’s recent results have done little to ease concerns. A 4-4 draw against Aston Villa at Old Trafford on Sunday further exposed the team’s defensive problems and inability to hold on to a result. That followed a 2-0 defeat to Chelsea, while their only victory in the last three matches came in a 3-2 Champions League win over Roma.
More concerning is United’s position in the Premier League. After 10 matches, the club sits 18th in the table, marking its worst start to a domestic league campaign in 40 years.
For a club with Manchester United’s history, resources and expectations, such a position represents more than just a disappointing run of results. It raises serious questions about the team’s direction, consistency, and ability to compete at the level expected of them.
Carrick, who was initially given an opportunity to steady the team, now faces an increasingly uncertain future as the club’s leadership weighs up whether another managerial change is necessary.
The ongoing international break could prove decisive, with United’s hierarchy expected to use the period to conduct a detailed assessment of the team’s performances before reaching a conclusion.
With Liverpool next on the schedule on November 22, United may have to make a major decision before returning to action. Whether Carrick gets another opportunity to revive the campaign or becomes the latest manager to leave Old Trafford remains to be seen.
