Michael Carrick is set to be sacked by Manchester United after his side\u2019s dismal start to the season, according to reports on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

United\u2019s hierarchy have been conducting an internal review of the club\u2019s miserable form and it is believed that Carrick will shortly be relieved of his duties.<\/p>\n

United are in the midst of their worst opening to a campaign in 40 years, leaving them languishing in the Premier League relegation zone after an eight-match winless run.<\/p>\n

Although it is said that no final decision has been made, chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox are reportedly leaning towards dismissing Carrick.<\/p>\n

United owners the Glazer family and influential shareholder Jim Ratcliffe would then decide whether to act on that recommendation.<\/p>\n

Carrick was seen arriving at United\u2019s Carrington training base on Tuesday, but it appears to be only a matter of time before his turbulent reign comes to an end.<\/p>\n

The 45-year-old, hired on a permanent basis in the close season after a successful interim spell last term, had been granted a stay of execution after he was widely expected to be axed in late October following a 3-0 home defeat by Bournemouth.<\/p>\n

United\u2019s surprise decision to let Carrick limp on failed to produce a significant improvement in performances, particularly defensively.<\/p>\n

They were beaten 2-0 at Chelsea, then scrambled a last-gasp 3-2 win against Roma in the Champions League after falling two goals down.<\/p>\n

It looked certain that former United midfielder Carrick would be on the way out when his team twice trailed by two goals against Aston Villa on Sunday.<\/p>\n

When United scored twice in stoppage-time to rescue an improbable 4-4 draw, it was interpreted as a positive sign for Carrick as the players were still fighting for him.<\/p>\n

But United\u2019s powerbrokers look set to make yet another managerial change in a bid to avoid being dragged into an embarrassing relegation battle.<\/p>\n

USA boss Mauricio Pochettino, former Newcastle manager Eddie Howe, ex-Chelsea chief Antonio Conte and former Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann have all been linked with the United job.<\/p>\n

United have the rest of the two-week international break to secure a replacement for Carrick before returning to action at bitter rivals Liverpool on November 22.<\/p>\n
