Manchester United's key decision-makers are holding a meeting in Monaco on Wednesday to decide the future of head coach Michael Carrick, according to reports by BBC Sport.
Uncertainty surrounding Carrick's position at Old Trafford has increased following recent performances. Despite the growing pressure on the head coach, chief executive Omar Berrada and technical director Jason Wilcox continue to retain the support of minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
Monaco Summit and Executive Backing
The gathering in Monaco brings together senior executives to evaluate the first-team leadership. The discussions are expected to focus on whether Carrick remains the right fit to lead the team forward or if a change in the dugout is required.
Media reports evaluating potential managerial alternatives have highlighted names such as Mauricio Pochettino, Eddie Howe, and Unai Emery, alongside the possibility of retaining Carrick.
Outcome Remains Unconfirmed
No official statement has been issued by Manchester United regarding the outcome of the summit or Carrick's contractual standing.
Until a formal announcement is made by the club, any potential managerial change or confirmation of Carrick's continuation remains unconfirmed.
