Manchester United is set to part company with coach Michael Carrick, according to reports.
English media say the decision was taken at a United board meeting yesterday and is expected to be made official today.
Carrick's departure comes after a difficult start to the season. United currently sit 18th in the Premier League, having won just one of their 10 league matches so far. They have drawn five and lost four.
Among the names linked with the job is Mauricio Pochettino, currently coach of the United States national team. Pochettino has previously managed Tottenham and Chelsea in the Premier League.
United's next league fixture is against Liverpool.
The club has been searching for stability in the managerial position following several changes in recent years.
