@dailymailsport: Michael Carrick arrived at Manchester United's training ground early on Tuesday, checking in at 7.15am on the day he could face the sack. Manchester United bosses are leaning towards installing a new head coach during the international break with the manager's position increasingly precarious after they dropped into the relegation zone despite salvaging a 4-4 draw against Aston Villa at Old Trafford on Sunday. It left the 45-year-old with just one wins from ten Premier League games this season – United’s worst start since Sir Alex Ferguson replaced Ron Atkinson 40 years ago. Carrick is expected to take training as usual this morning - with a cut-down group of players as a number of United's stars have departed on international duty. Club chiefs including CEO Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox are expected to have a video call with co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe today. Mauricio Pochettino has emerged as a new frontrunner to replace Carrick. The Argentine is currently in charge of the US national team, but his contract includes a £7million release clause. Eddie Howe and Julian Nagelsmann, who were both under consideration when United gave Carrick more time to turn the season around following a 3-0 home defeat by Bournemouth last month, could also be in contention. #mufc #manchesterunited #carrick #manutd #news
