Manchester United are poised to part ways with manager Michael Carrick this week, according to The Athletic.
The Red Devils have been hugely disappointing in the Premier League this campaign, picking up only eight points in 10 matches.
The club came from 4-2 behind to share the spoils against Aston Villa in stoppage time but the result will have no bearing on Carrick's future.
United's hierarchy have already made the decision to part ways with him after the stalemate, and a replacement is already being planned behind the scenes.
The international break has offered the board more time to make a choice and Carrick is expected to be dismissed once the successor is ready to take charge.
United have had their worst ever start to a Premier League campaign after 10 matches and face a daunting trip to Liverpool after the international break.
Hence, the Red Devils feel a change is necessary now rather than waiting for the outcome of the derby later this month before deciding on Carrick's future.
