Manchester United are considering Eddie Howe, Julian Nagelsmann and Antonio Conte as potential replacements for head coach Michael Carrick, whose future is in serious doubt following the club\u2019s 3-0 home defeat to Bournemouth, sources have told ESPN.<\/p>\n

According to ESPN, the defeat at Old Trafford on Sunday intensified pressure on Carrick, coming five days after United suffered a 4-1 loss to Como in the Champions League. The club have now gone eight games without a win in all competitions and sit 16th in the Premier League, just one point above the relegation zone.<\/p>\n

ESPN reports that United have begun weighing up alternative managerial options, with former Newcastle United manager Howe and ex-Germany head coach Nagelsmann among the names being considered.<\/p>\n

Conte, who left Napoli in the summer, would also be open to discussions if United contacted him, the report added.<\/p>\n

United had reportedly conducted due diligence on several coaches before deciding to appoint Carrick on a two-year contract in May, following his successful interim spell.<\/p>\n

The former Manchester United midfielder is now facing an uncertain future after failing to secure a response from his players following the heavy defeat to Como.<\/p>\n

Carrick dropped captain Bruno Fernandes for the Bournemouth game after the midfielder\u2019s criticism of the team\u2019s approach against Como, but United delivered another disappointing performance at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

Bournemouth scored three times through Rayan, Marcus Tavernier and Evanilson, capitalising on defensive errors to deepen United\u2019s crisis.<\/p>\n

Speaking after the defeat, Carrick said he was unsure what the club would decide about his future.<\/p>\n

\u201cI totally understand the situation,\u201d he said. \u201cI am not expecting anything, I\u2019m carrying on as normal. I love this place. I\u2019ll always carry on doing what I think is the best for the football club.\u201d<\/p>\n

United face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, with further difficult fixtures against Aston Villa and Liverpool looming as they seek to arrest their slide.<\/p>\n
