Michael Carrick could be sacked as Manchester United manager today (Monday), but there could be a slight delay before it becomes official because United cannot announce a sacking until they inform the New York Stock Exchange, which is closed on weekends.
Ruben Amorim was sacked in the wake of his explosive comments following the draw with Leeds but it wasn’t announced until the next Monday. Carrick is also on the brink of being dismissed following a 3-0 humiliation at the hands of Bournemouth on Sunday.
The result leaves United sitting in 16th place and only one point above the relegation zone.
