Story updated
The story in brief
6-second readMichael Carrick's position is under threat after Man United's 0-3 loss to Bournemouth, with Eddie Howe sounded out by Jason Wilcox.
From the source
Manchester United’s disastrous 0-3 defeat against Bournemouth at Old Trafford on Sunday has almost sealed Michael Carrick‘s fate. The Red Devils are languishing in 16th position in the Premier League table and have won only one out of eight matches in the league.
They have conceded two or more goals on seven occasions in all competitions, and the statistics show that the current head coach has failed badly this season.
His tactics have even been called out by club captain Bruno Fernandes and INEOS held a crisis meeting after Sunday’s humbling. According to The Guardian, Carrick’s sacking is inevitable, and the club’s director of football Jason Wilcox has made contact with Eddie Howe.
