Manchester United will hold a meeting early next week to discuss Michael Carrick’s future as head coach. That comes after a 4-4 draw against Aston Villa at Old Trafford – and the club is third last in the Premier League.
United drew 4-4 at home to Villa in the Premier League on Sunday night. Unai Emery’s side led 2-0 after just four minutes, but United hit back and went to half-time at 2-2.

Villa scored two quick goals at the start of the second half – but just like in the first half, United scored two goals again. Carrick’s team scored twice in injury time to make it 4-4.
Nevertheless, United go into the international break as third last in the Premier League with eight points from ten games.
Meeting already scheduled
Before the game, news broke that Manchester United’s director of football Jason Wilcox supports Carrick as head coach. After the 4-4 draw, Bailey has revealed that a meeting will be held at Carrington early next week to decide Carrick’s future.
“I’m told that Manchester United’s management will meet at Carrington early next week, with Michael Carrick’s future high on the agenda,” Bailey said.
“The meeting was already scheduled before the last games. That was the plan. They considered Carrick’s position after the Bournemouth game, but did not want a long-term temporary solution if they had made a change.
“Jason Wilcox now goes into the international break with a huge decision. As TEAMtalk has already revealed, he is the kingmaker who ultimately decides whether Carrick stays or not.
“They have done due diligence on the available options – whether it is Eddie Howe, Julian Nagelsmann, Antonio Conte or Unai Emery. The decision on Carrick will again be discussed in depth, but Wilcox has so far shown his support for Carrick.
