Manchester United manager Michael Carrick ‘feels disrespected’ that the club’s co-owners, INEOS, are leaking to the media that they will sack him, according to a report.
Carrick was handed the Man Utd managerial role on a permanent basis in the summer of 2026.
INEOS made the decision after Carrick led Man Utd to third place in the Premier League table last season.
The 2026/27 campaign, though, has been a disaster for Man Utd, who are third from bottom in the Premier League table at the moment.
Carrick is set to be sacked by Man Utd this week, with a meeting taking place in Monaco over his future on Wednesday.
Man Utd co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, CEO Omar Berrada and director of football, Jason Wilcox, will make the final call on Carrick’s future.
Carrick took Man Utd training on Tuesday amid strong suggestions that he will head out of Old Trafford soon.
The Englishman is in Carrington on Wednesday for training, too.
Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano wrote on X at 8:43am on November 11, 2026: “Michael Carrick, at Carrington today to lead Manchester United training again — same as yesterday.
“No formal communication from the club on his future yet but from today expected any moment.
“The expectation remains for Carrick to be sacked, waiting for Sir Jim Ratcliffe green light.”
On Wednesday morning, it emerged that Man Utd are finalising a deal for Mauricio Pochettino.
The Athletic journalist David Ornstein has reported that Man Utd have been ironing out personal terms with Pochettino.
However, Man Utd have yet to make contact with the USA about Pochettino.
Pochettino has been the manager of the USA since September 2024 and is under contract until August 2026.
There is a release clause of $10million (£7.5m) in Pochettino’s contract with the USA.
According to The Touchline, which has 1.8million followers on X, the Englishman is not happy at all that news of his impending departure is being leaked to the media.
The Touchline posted on X at 8:44am on November 11, 2026: “Michael Carrick feels disrespected by Manchester United’s decision-makers.
“He is frustrated that news of his departure has appeared across multiple media outlets while he has yet to receive any direct explanation from the club about his future.”
