Monaco Summit Set to Decide Michael Carrick's Future on Thursday
Manchester United’s executive leadership gathers in Monaco on Wednesday to determine head coach Michael Carrick’s future following the club’s drop into the Premier League relegation zone. Chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox are set to present their operational recommendations to minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, with a final decision requiring Glazer family sign-off that pushes any public announcement to Thursday at the earliest.

Berrada and Wilcox are expected to advise Ratcliffe to end Carrick’s tenure following Sunday’s 4-4 draw against Aston Villa.

coachShould the board elect to proceed with a managerial change, the hierarchy intends to inform Carrick face to face before releasing an official statement. United currently occupy 18th place in the Premier League table, marking their worst domestic start in 40 years.
Despite the domestic slump, club leadership maintains that achieving a top-five finish remains realistic for the campaign. Prior preliminary enquiries included former Newcastle manager Eddie Howe and former Germany head coach Julian Nagelsmann, while Antonio Conte and Mauricio Pochettino remain options under consideration.
