## Key points

- United have not decided whether Carrick will stay.
- The club sit 18th after their worst start in 40 years.
- Defensive problems remain a major concern.

## Summary

Manchester United’s board has not decided whether Michael Carrick will remain head coach after a poor run of results, including a 4-4 draw with Aston Villa. The result left United 18th in the Premier League and underlined the club’s worst start to a domestic campaign in 40 years.

The board is weighing mixed evidence from Carrick’s three most recent matches: United have won once, drawn once and lost once, while conceding 15 goals across all competitions. Their 19 league goals conceded are more than all but Crystal Palace and Ipswich, and they have kept only one clean sheet this season. Carrick is due to lead the side against Liverpool on 22 November; executives Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox will influence the decision, with Eddie Howe and Julian Nagelsmann previously considered as possible replacements.
