Michael Carrick may not have to wait long to find out whether he remains in charge at Manchester United, with a decision now expected by Wednesday or Thursday at the latest.<\/p>\n
The club\u2019s international break has offered a pause for reflection after the recent comebacks against Roma and Aston Villa, but those recovery efforts have been offset by what has been described as familiar inefficiency. Reports on Monday night indicated that Carrick\u2019s departure was increasingly likely, while stressing that no final call had yet been made. That timetable has now become clearer.<\/p>\n
According to BBC Sport, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Manchester United\u2019s minority co-owner and the man with control of sporting matters, is due to meet Berrada and Wilcox in Monaco on Wednesday to settle Carrick\u2019s future. The same report adds that any announcement may not come until Thursday.<\/p>\n
There remains some room for further discussion, helped by the fact that Manchester United do not play again until their trip to arch rivals Liverpool on Sunday, Nov. 22, following the international break.<\/p>\n
The delay comes after a difficult run of managerial decisions under Ratcliffe, who has already overseen two costly and unsuccessful appointments. He first extended Erik ten Hag\u2019s contract before replacing him with Ruben Amorim, who was then removed after just over a year. Against that backdrop, this latest call carries obvious weight, even if the wait itself is proving costly in its own way.<\/p>\n
Carrick, for his part, has continued to conduct himself without complaint despite the speculation. He even said he was \u201creally looking forward\u201d to each next fixture.<\/p>\n
After Sunday\u2019s 4-4 draw with Aston Villa, Carrick rejected suggestions that he might walk away and instead pointed firmly toward the next match. \u201cI\u2019m quite clear with what direction the club needs to go in, and it\u2019s got to win games,\u201d he sniffed .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
