Manchester United are 18th in the league and have not won a league match since August. This is the team's worst start to a Premier League season.
The Athletic is now reporting that Manchester United are planning to sack Carrick during the current international break.
Meanwhile, a new leading candidate has emerged in the search for a replacement. Mauricio Pochettino, who currently manages the US national team, is said to be at the top of the club's wish list. Both the BBC and The Athletic have identified the Argentine as a strong option for United.
Carrick replaced Ruben Amorim in January and got the Reds moving. He won 12 of 17 league games as interim manager, but since the summer, most things have gone wrong.
