Manchester United manager Michael Carrick is under increasing pressure following a poor start to the 2026-27 season. The club has been linked with several potential replacements, including Antonio Conte, Kieran McKenna, and Oliver Glasner, as reports suggest the club is considering a change. Despite backing from the club, Carrick's team has struggled, losing to Brighton in the Carabao Cup and facing boos from fans after the match.
Carrick has responded to the backlash, acknowledging the frustration of supporters and taking responsibility for the defeat. However, the club's performance has not improved, with four points earned from four Premier League games. Some sources suggest that Manchester United may be urged to act sooner rather than waiting until the holiday break.
The situation has also affected the transfer market, with Carrick's position now seen as less secure. Bookmakers have adjusted odds, reflecting the growing uncertainty around his future. While the club has not officially ruled out his continued tenure, the pressure is mounting on Carrick to deliver better results.
