Roundtable understands that Michael Carrick is aware that Manchester United have spoken with potential replacements, but he has yet to be formally told that he has been dismissed. 

Carrick, alongside his coaching staff, oversaw training on Tuesday, with several of United's first-team players absent on international duty. He will continue working as Manchester United head coach until he's formally dismissed.

Manchester United have already held conversations with the representatives of potential replacements for the former No.16. 

The club continue to maintain that no final decision has been made yet, with board meetings involving Sir Jim Ratcliffe continuing in Monaco. 

Mauricio Pochettino has emerged as a front-runner to replace Michael Carrick in the Old Trafford dugout, according to David Ornstein. 

The Argentine has previously coached Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, and Tottenham Hotspur, but is currently in charge of the United States national side. 

At the World Cup, his USA side made it to the Round of 16, losing out to Belgium after beating Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Round of 32 and winning two games in the group stage. 

Pochettino lasted just one season at Stamford Bridge, but Roundtable's Tottenham Hotspur correspondent, Jamie Brown, has said that his time at Chelsea was "underrated".

Multiple reports have said that Pochettino would be open to moving to Old Trafford, though other names seem to be on the shortlist, according to reports. 

Eddie Howe and Julian Nagelsmann looked to be favourites of Jason Wilcox and Christopher Vivell, respectively, after Manchester United suffered a 3-0 defeat to AFC Bournemouth. 

Just three games later, Michael Carrick is now expected to be dismissed from his position as head coach, with less than two weeks before the Red Devils face Liverpool after the international break. 

The new manager could see a boost, with Luke Shaw targeting a return at Anfield, according to The Daily Mail. 

Antonio Conte was another name to be linked with Manchester United, though fans immediately saw that as unlikely due to his well-known relationship breakdowns at his clubs. 

Conte, Howe and Nagelsmann are free agents, while Pochettino remains in charge of the USA, who are set to play Haiti twice before the end of the international break. 

The Daily Mail revealed Pochettino has a £7 million release clause in his contract, though the figure to bring him to Manchester could be more, given that his coaching staff have followed him from club to club.
