Reports this morning say that Manchester United are expected to relieve Michael Carrick of his duties as head coach.

The Athletic reports that The club continue to insist that no decision has been reached but multiple sources, speaking to The Athletic on the condition of anonymity to protect relationships, indicate work has been undertaken on potential replacements and the anticipation is a change will be made before the trip to Anfield to face Liverpool in 13 days’ time.

One report says Sir Jim Ratcliffe will lead a meeting in Monaco today which is expected to confirm Michael Carrick’s departure.

Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox will formally present the recommendation to part ways with Carrick, with Mauricio Pochettino a leading contender to replace him.

Carrick is expected to return to Carrington tomorrow as he awaits official communication from the club of his exit.
