Michael Carrick is expected to be sacked by Manchester United.

While the under-pressure manager ended a run of nine games without a win as Man United beat Roma in the Champions League last week and then rescued a point at home to Aston Villa - having twice trailed by two goals - those results will not be enough to keep Carrick in the job.

According to The Athletic, Man Utd intend to relieve Carrick of duties, with work already being undertaken on replacements.

It remains to be seen when an official announcement will be made, but the report states that a change is anticipated before the Red Devils face bitter rivals Liverpool in the Premier League on November 22 at Anfield.

According to the Athletic, Manchester United intend to relieve Michael Carrick of duties.

The report states that United have started work on replacements and the feeling is that a change will be made before the Liverpool game.

William Gallas has provided Manchester United’s decision-makers with a warning if they are considering replacing Michael Carrick with Antonio Conte.

Speaking on behalf of SeatPick - the leading platform for Arsenal tickets - Gallas said: “I don’t know if Antonio Conte can fix Manchester United because from what I understand now the players in that dressing room are completely different from the players 10, 15 or 20 years ago.

“If you bring in Antonio Conte, you know he has a big personality. You know he will ask his players to adapt to his system, but I don't know if the players at Manchester United can do this.

"It's a different generation. Now you have to adapt to the players at this club, not just the players adapting to you. It has to be a compromise. Before, it used to be that the players had to adapt to the manager. Nobody said anything. They had great results. Now life has changed.

“A manager like Conte would have to understand that ‘OK I have to adapt to this new generation, and if I do that, at the same time, I will need them to adapt to what I want from them,’ and that’s why you have to be sure about what you are going into. Manchester United also have to be sure about the manager they are bringing in because the message has to make sense and be understood by the players in the dressing room. Otherwise it will be the same problem again and again.

“Ultimately, the problem with United is the players that they’ve brought to the club because they aren’t at the level to play for Manchester United. With all the respect I have for other clubs, Manchester United are not Coventry City. They are not Crystal Palace. We are talking about Manchester United.

“They should only be signing the best players to play for the club but time and time again they have made big mistakes. Antonio Conte cannot change that. No manager can. You have to look higher up at the club first.”

Manchester United's bosses will not rush a decision over Michael Carrick's future.

That is according to Sky Sports News, who claim the club's hierarchy are planning to use the international break to fully evaluate the season so far and reassess their options.

Man United are in the Premier League zone after their 4-4 draw with Aston Villa.

A new name has stormed into favouritism to become the next Manchester United manager, with Michael Carrick on the brink of the sack.

Another barmy game saw Man Utd twice come from two goals down to earn a remarkable 4-4 draw with Aston Villa on Sunday, but the point was not enough to guide the club out of the relegation zone ahead of the international break.

Another significant update on Michael Carrick’s Manchester United future has now emerged, courtesy of talkSPORT.

Alex Crook reports that it is all calm at Carrington, with the players having the day off as many of them depart for international duty.

He adds that the likelihood at this stage is that Carrick continues as United boss, but with his future remaining uncertain as assessments continue.

Intriguingly, he adds that one potential option for the club is to possibly add to Carrick’s coaching staff.

He says that United considered moving for Vincent Kompany’s highly-rated Bayern Munich assistant Aaron Danks in the summer.

Roy Keane has likened under-fire Manchester United manager Michael Carrick to a “politician”, claiming that he “talks a lot but doesn’t say much”.

Man Utd head into the November international break sat in the Premier League relegation zone despite twice recovering from a two-goal deficit to record a dramatic 4-4 draw against Aston Villa at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Given a reprieve ahead of the 1-0 defeat by Chelsea the weekend prior, Carrick oversaw a first win in 10 games across all competitions last Tuesday, when his struggling side came from 2-0 down to defeat depleted Roma 3-2 in the Champions League.

But despite the two comebacks at Old Trafford, Carrick’s job remains firmly in question - with Keane doubting his ability to turn things around.

In case you missed it, here is what David Ornstein had to say on NBC Sports when asked about Michael Carrick’s Manchester United future before the clash with Aston Villa on Sunday.

“I think the truth here at Old Trafford is that they do want Michael Carrick to succeed,” he said.

“If they wanted to remove him and make a change, I think they would’ve already done it by now and found an interim solution.

“And with that result in midweek against Roma, there was a bit of improved spirit, and let’s see what happens against Villa today.

“I think the truth is, there isn’t a firm plan here at Old Trafford for what to do if they were to make a change.

“No doubt they would’ve had conversations with representatives in recent weeks, and they’ll have more time to do so over the international break.

“A disastrous result today and maybe you think there will be a change, but as things stand, they’re continuing with Michael Carrick.

“I don’t know of a clear alternative plan.”

David Ornstein’s colleague at The Athletic, Laurie Whitwell, had this to say on the latest episode of ‘Talk of the Devils’ on Sunday night: “At the moment, obviously things can change, I don't think Michael Carrick is going to lose his job, as we speak right now.”

Manchester United boss Michael Carrick has urged supporters “to be careful” with their boos after targeting Diogo Dalot during the Red Devils’ 4-4 draw with Aston Villa on Sunday.

Man Utd fans watched on at Old Trafford as their side twice rallied back from a two-goal deficit in dramatic fashion, eventually sharing a point with Unai Emery’s visitors.

For much of this season, Dalot has been deployed outside of his favoured position of right-back, instead lining up on the left in the absence of Luke Shaw and Patrick Dorgu.

Dorgu has recently returned to enough fitness to be named in matchday squads, and when the Danish wing-back was brought on to replace Dalot on 66 minutes on Sunday, boos rang around Old Trafford aimed at the Portuguese defender.
