Michael Carrick arrived at Manchester United’s Carrington training base on Monday afternoon to observe a behind-closed-doors match involving the club’s Under-21 squad. His presence at the facility coincided with high-level discussions regarding his tenure as head coach. Sporting director Jason Wilcox and chief executive Omar Berrada held meetings at the site throughout the day to deliberate on the current state of the team and Carrick’s future.

The discussions follow a difficult period for the club, highlighted by a 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth at Old Trafford on Sunday. This loss extended a winless run for the team to eight matches, placing significant pressure on the coaching staff. While Wilcox and Berrada were seen at the training ground throughout the day, with Wilcox departing shortly before 5:00 p.m., the club has not yet released an official statement regarding a final decision on Carrick’s employment status. The situation remains fluid as the leadership evaluates the team's performance trajectory.
