Manchester United officials are split over who to target as the club's next boss should they decide to sack Michael Carrick, with the 45-year-old likely to be dismissed if his side fail to beat Bournemouth on Sunday.
Carrick survived a disastrous 4-1 Champions League defeat to Como on Wednesday by the skin of his teeth, but his team are on a run of seven games without a win and have just two victories in 11 games all season.
While there is an acceptance that not everything that has gone wrong can be laid at Carrick's door, performances have been alarming and his future is a major topic of discussion inside the club.
