Michael Carrick, the head coach of Manchester United, is facing increasing pressure, and predictions suggest he may be dismissed from his position before the end of October. This prediction comes from Greg Stanton, a former Aston Villa striker, who is deeply concerned about the team's poor performance this season.
Poor performance of Manchester United this season
The Manchester United team has faced poor results at the start of this season, having only secured one victory from their first four Premier League matches, while losing two. The club's worst moment came on Wednesday when they lost 3-2 at home to Brighton and were eliminated from the Carabao Cup.

Carrick, who signed his permanent contract with Manchester United until 2028 in May, is currently facing serious challenges. The team will face Fulham on Sunday, and according to Stanton, if they lose this match, the club may seek other coaching options. Stanton believes Carrick has only four or five games to save his position.
Concerns about player commitment
Stanton also criticized Manchester United's defensive performance, stating that the team appeared disorganized and weak for 65 minutes of the game. He added that the players seem to have mentally and technically given up, with some, including Joshua Zirke, not showing enough enthusiasm.
Expressing concern about the team's defensive situation, Stanton said: "They concede goals too easily, and I don't know what their style of play is." These criticisms clearly reflect serious concerns about Carrick's future as well as the future of Manchester United as one of the biggest football clubs in the world.
As the Sunday match approaches, Michael Carrick's future remains uncertain, and fans and football experts are closely monitoring his situation. Will Manchester United seek a change in their management, or will they give Carrick more time to demonstrate his abilities?
