Manchester United look increasingly likely to sack head coach Michael Carrick.

The club opted to keep Carrick after the side's 3-0 home defeat to Bournemouth on 25 October, intending to reassess the situation during this month's international break.

Multiple sources have told BBC Sport that the board remain committed to that process and have not made a final decision on Carrick's future.

However, expectations are growing that chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox will recommend to minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the Glazer family that they sack Carrick.

The 4-4 draw with Aston Villa on Sunday means United, who are 18th in the table, have made their worst start to a domestic campaign in 40 years.

BBC Sport reported in October that the club had sounded out former Newcastle boss Eddie Howe and ex-Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann over replacing Carrick.

Former Chelsea coach Antonio Conte is keen on the role, while multiple sources told BBC Sport that former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino is open to a move to Old Trafford.

Pochettino signed a contract extension as USA coach in August.

However, the deal is thought to contain clauses that would allow him to leave for specific high-profile jobs. The US have a two-legged Concacaf Nations League play-off with Haiti on 14 and 18 November.
