Manchester United weighing up Michael Carrick sacking as Jason Wilcox leads review

Manchester United are deciding whether Michael Carrick should be sacked, with Jason Wilcox, the director of football, leading the review after the head coach was given the Chelsea, Roma and Aston Villa games to turn results around.

Wilcox is consulting with Omar Berrada, the chief executive, before a recommendation regarding Carrick is made to Jim Ratcliffe, who controls sporting policy. United are in the Premier League relegation zone and have three victories in 15 games in all competitions.
