- Ratcliffe will discuss the club’s next steps in Monaco.

## Summary

Manchester United’s senior executives are expected to recommend ending Michael Carrick’s time as head coach at a meeting with minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe in Monaco on Wednesday. United are 18th in the Premier League after winning once in their first 10 matches, making the decision a major test of Ratcliffe’s leadership and the club’s direction.

The meeting was arranged as a regular strategy discussion, and the location was not chosen because of Carrick’s situation; executives could make a decision remotely, but prefer to deliver it face to face. Carrick won 12 of 17 games as interim manager before receiving a two-year contract in the summer. United had backed him after a 3-0 defeat by Bournemouth, but their subsequent results have kept his position under scrutiny.
