Manchester United manager Michael Carrick's future is uncertain after back-to-back losses to Como and Bournemouth, extending the team's winless run to eight games. The club's hierarchy is highlighting the lack of decisiveness at Old Trafford. The way Carrick applauded fans after the Bournemouth loss suggested a farewell. The Stretford End responded in kind.
The club's chief executive, Omar Berrarda, and director of football, Jason Wilcox, discussed Carrick's future on Monday, but failed to make a final decision. Carrick is expected to take training on Tuesday. The club is waiting for a deal for his successor to be finalized before removing him.
The potential successors include Eddie Howe, the former Newcastle United boss, who is Wilcox's prime candidate and wants the job, but United would have to pay Newcastle compensation fees. The club's director of recruitment, Christopher Vivell, has also been pushing the case of Julian Nagelsmann.

Source context
Michael Carrick finds himself in limbo, with the Manchester United hierarchy once again highlighting the lack of decisiveness at Old Trafford. Back-to-back embarrassing results against Como in the Champions League and Bournemouth in the Premier League, which extended United’s winless run to eight games across all competitions, underlined that the players have downed their tools. The way Carrick applauded fans after the final whistle and the way the Stretford End responded suggested it was a farewell and United would pull the trigger on him immediately. Monday was an off day for players after a game, yet the chief executive, Omar Berrarda, the director of football, Jason Wilcox, and Michael Carrick were all present at the training complex.
