Man Utd to part ways with Michael Carrick?

Manchester United could seriously consider parting ways with manager Michael Carrick if the Red Devils fail to beat Aston Villa in the Premier League on Sunday.

United recently ended a nine-match winless streak with a 3-2 comeback win over Roma in the Champions League. Matheus Cunha was the star of the show with two goals and a penalty won, which was converted by Bruno Fernandes after a retake.

Despite the victory, the pressure is still on Carrick. United have dropped to 18th in the league standings on the back of Nottingham Forest's 3-1 win over Manchester City at home.

They must return to winning ways in the league to move out of the drop zone, and that could be a difficult task against a solid Villa outfit.

Carrick faces another stern challenge against the Midlands outfit and reports claim that a loss could well see him heading for an exit.

The international break would provide United with ample time to land a successor if they decide to part ways with Carrick in the near future.
