Michael Carrick could be removed as Manchester United manager in the coming days, with the club’s next Premier League match expected to play a decisive role in his future.

The Red Devils suffered a heavy 4-1 defeat by Como in the third round of the Champions League in their most recent match.

According to The Touchline, Manchester United are highly likely to dismiss Carrick if the team fails to beat Bournemouth. The club’s board believes the players have lost confidence in the manager and doubts whether he can turn the situation around.

Manchester United have already begun searching for a replacement, with the club considering a change in the dugout.

The Premier League match between Manchester United and Bournemouth, part of the eighth round of the competition, will take place on 25 October. Kick-off is scheduled for 16:00 Moscow time.
