Carrick future to be decided on Wednesday

Man Utd will decide whether to sack manager Michael Carrick in a meeting between senior club officials on Wednesday, according to BBC Sport.

Technical director Jason Wilcox and CEO Omar Berrada are expected to recommend the dismissal of Carrick when they hold talks with co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

Wilcox has led a review into whether to retain Carrick as head coach having initially given him a chance to turn things around at Old Trafford.

Carrick received a stay of execution following previous talks over his future, with the United legend taking charge of recent games against Chelsea, Roma and Aston Villa.

However, he remains under huge pressure having won just one of those games - a comeback victory over Roma in the Champions League last Tuesday.

Carrick was named permanent manager in May following a spell as interim boss last season, steering United to an impressive third-placed finish in the Premier League.

However, the 45-year-old has won just three of his 15 games in charge this season and faced criticism from club captain Bruno Fernandes over his tactics.

Pochettino would be open to taking United job

United States head coach Mauricio Pochettino would be open to becoming the next manager of United, according to The Guardian.

Pochettino has emerged as a potential candidate to replace Carrick, should the United hierarchy decide a change is needed in the dugout.

The former Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain boss has been linked with the United post on a number of occasions in the past.

Pochettino, who signed a new contract with the USMNT in August, has previously expressed his admiration for legendary United boss Sir Alex Ferguson.

Various publications understand former Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe and ex-Germany head coach Julian Nagelsmann are also in the running to succeed Carrick.

Real star Endrick refuses to rule out January exit

Real Madrid star Endrick says he “does not know” what will happen in the January transfer window amid speculation linking him with United.

Endrick has made seven appearances for Real this season but only one of them has come as a starter - against Sevilla in La Liga in October.

The striker is struggling to earn regular minutes given the impressive form of Real attackers Kylian Mbappe, Arda Guler and Yan Diomande.

Endrick enjoyed a successful loan spell at Lyon last season, recording eight goals and as many assists after joining the Ligue 1 side in January 2026.

And the Brazil international has refused to rule out doing the same thing again when the transfer window reopens in less than two months’ time.

In quotes carried by Diario AS, he said: “I’m only 20 years old, so I’ll see how things unfold. I just want to play, be happy, and help my teammates.

“I don’t know what will happen in January; that’s in God’s hands. I only ask for what’s best for my career. Whatever is meant to happen will happen.

“I’ll keep my feet on the ground and continue giving my best. Madrid is a wonderful city - my family is there - but I will always do whatever is necessary to advance my career.”

United were keen to sign Endrick on loan in the summer but Real boss Jose Mourinho refused to allow the forward to leave, according to RMC Sport.

Red Devils learn Napoli want Monza ace Varela

United have learned Napoli are weighing up a move for in-form Monza star Gustavo Varela, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

Varela is developing a reputation as one of the most promising strikers in Europe having sparkled for Serie A side Monza this season.

The 21-year-old is the top scorer in the Italian top flight having netted nine goals in 10 league appearances for Ivan Juric’s side.

Varela, who joined Monza from Benfica for a reported €2.5million (£2m) in July, has also scored two goals in the Coppa Italia this term.

His stunning form for Monza has led to him being called up by Portugal for the first time ahead of their Nations League fixtures later this month.

With Varela continuing to score goals at an incredible rate, United have been loosely linked with making a move for the forward.

The Athletic claims the Red Devils are keen to sign a new striker in January provided the right target becomes available.

However, Gazzetta understands Napoli are plotting their own move for Varela, who is tied to Monza until June 2030.

United keen on Cambiaso as Roma target Balde

United have joined the race to sign versatile Juventus full-back Andrea Cambiaso, according to Tuttomercatoweb via SPORT.

The Red Devils have reportedly expressed their interest in signing Cambiaso, who is contracted to Juventus until the summer of 2029.

However, Tuttomercatoweb claims United face stiff competition from Manchester City, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Tottenham for his signature.

Meanwhile, Spanish publication SPORT claims Roma are weighing up a move to sign United target and Barcelona left-back Alejandro Balde in January.

The Serie A side want to sign the out-of-favour defender on an initial loan with an obligation to buy him next summer, provided they qualify for the Champions League.

United explored the possibility of signing Balde on loan in the summer but Barcelona were only interested in a permanent arrangement at the time, according to The Athletic.
