Arrived to be fired? Carrick spotted at Manchester United's training ground as axe looms
Michael Carrick may be experiencing the most awkward working week of his managerial career.
Details: On Thursday morning, November 12, Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick was once again spotted arriving at the club's Carrington training ground in his car. Sky Sports cameras captured the Englishman driving into the facility and waving towards photographers, despite widespread reports suggesting that his dismissal is imminent.
According to multiple British media reports, Carrick is expected to be informed that Manchester United intend to part ways with him. However, no official dismissal has been announced, and the 45-year-old continues to carry out his responsibilities as head coach.
The situation has become particularly unusual because reports of Carrick's impending departure have dominated the headlines for several days. Nevertheless, the former Manchester United midfielder has continued arriving at Carrington and overseeing training sessions.
Meanwhile, club executives have held discussions with co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, while Sky Sports reports that United have reached an agreement in principle with Mauricio Pochettino, who could replace Carrick if his dismissal is confirmed.
It's worth noting that Manchester United have won just one of their opening ten Premier League matches this season, leaving the club in the relegation zone during the November international break.
Reminder: BREAKING: Manchester United and Mauricio Pochettino reach an agreement in principle!
