Michael Carrick left Manchester United’s training ground at 5pm after spending over three hours there. The session coincided with behind-closed-doors talks about his future at the club. Carrick arrived just before the Under-21s’ 2pm friendly against Hull City. Club officials, including director of football Jason Wilcox and CEO Omar Berrada, were involved in the discussions.

Fan frustration has intensified following another loss, with Carrick seen as a potential scapegoat. Some supporters accuse the club’s leadership, particularly Wilcox, of contributing to the team’s struggles. Reports suggest internal tensions are growing, with players criticized for their behavior toward Carrick. Gary Neville has publicly condemned the squad’s conduct, calling their professionalism into question.

Carrick, 37, has been a key figure at Old Trafford for over a decade. His recent performances have been inconsistent, raising concerns about his role in the team’s defensive stability. The club’s management is now under pressure to address both on-field and off-field issues. With the season entering a critical phase, decisions about Carrick’s future could have significant implications for the team’s direction.
