Man Utd consider sacking Michael Carrick during international break - Report

Manchester United manager Michael Carrick is facing the prospect of being dismissed during the November international break, according to reports cited by Daily Post from the UK Telegraph. Senior decision-makers at the club are reportedly weighing up a managerial switch following a difficult stretch.

The scrutiny intensified after the Red Devils played out a thrilling 4-4 draw with Aston Villa on Sunday. Although Manchester United fought back twice after trailing by two goals, the result was insufficient to steer the club away from the relegation zone.

Currently, the Old Trafford outfit are languishing in 18th place on the Premier League standings, sitting ahead of only Crystal Palace and Sunderland. The team's low position on the log has triggered internal discussions among top club executives.

Club management is presently conducting meetings and an internal assessment to determine Carrick's fate. Manchester United are set to face Liverpool at Anfield after the international break, but Carrick may no longer be at the helm when the match takes place.
