Manchester United sent Michael Carrick sack verdict as decision looms
Michael Carrick could be sacked by Manchester United today
Carrick is on the brink of leaving United. After the 3-0 Premier League defeat to Bournemouth, Carrick looked set to depart Old Trafford.
However, after crisis talks at Carrington, the United decision makers chose to postpone a decision until the start of the international break.
In the meantime, Carrick oversaw a defeat at Chelsea, a stunning comeback victory over Roma and a thrilling 4-4 draw with Aston Villa. Despite the marginal uptick in form, it appears Ineos have lost faith in Carrick and he could be sacked as early as today.
After the draw with Villa, MEN Sport asked our readers: 'Should Manchester United sack Michael Carrick despite incredible Aston Villa comeback?' A whopping 11,386 responses were received and the result was split.
49 per cent of respondents voted 'No' while 45 per cent voted 'Yes'. Just six per cent of voters were 'Unsure'.
This split response from the United fanbase suggests Ineos' decision is likely to divide supporters further amid growing scrutiny of the ownership.
Amid the uncertainty it has been business as usual for Carrick. He arrived at Carrington, as planned, at 7.15am on Tuesday morning. Read the full story here.
