Sources: United Consider Howe, Nagelsmann to Replace Under-Fire Carrick
United have gone eight matches without a win and sit 16th in the Premier League as the club considers possible coaching changes.
- On Sunday, Manchester United lost 3-0 to Bournemouth at Old Trafford, leaving head coach Michael Carrick's future in serious doubt. Sources told ESPN that executives are weighing potential replacements.
- This defeat marks the second damaging result in five days, following a 4-1 Champions League loss to Como last Wednesday. United have gone eight games without a win and sit 16th in the Premier League.
- Carrick left Bruno Fernandes out of his starting lineup, insisting the decision was for football reasons. Despite the turmoil, captain Harry Maguire insisted the squad remains "fully behind" the manager.
- Former Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe and ex-Germany boss Julian Nagelsmann are among top contenders being considered by the club's hierarchy. Antonio Conte is also reportedly open to talks if contacted.
- Director of football Jason Wilcox favors Howe, though Jim Ratcliffe, who controls football policy, will ultimately decide the club's direction. The board vetted candidates before appointing Carrick to a two-year contract in May.
