The Mirror reports that Michael Carrick is under heavy pressure to keep his job as Manchester United manager, and that attention is now turning to who could take over in the dugout.
The Mirror's piece, published on Monday morning, invites readers to give their view on who should be the club's next manager. According to the outlet's summary, the focus is on the question of a successor rather than on any confirmed change.
That is the extent of what the source tells us. It does not say that a decision has been made about Carrick's future, and MFF has no further detail on the situation. Until the club say otherwise, this remains a report about pressure and speculation, not an announcement.
The numbers
MFF's match data gives the context for the discussion. This is where United stand in the Premier League after eight matches:
- League position: 16th
- Played: 8
- Points: 7
- Goal difference: -3
- Last five league results: LDDDL (L for lost, D for drawn)
United sit in the lower half of the table, with a negative goal difference. Their recent run, as recorded by MFF, includes three draws and two defeats.
MFF will update these figures as further matches are played.
