Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox reported to Carrington on Monday morning as talks over Michael Carrick's future at Manchester United continue.
Carrick's position as head coach is hanging by a thread after Sunday's 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth at Old Trafford. It is widely expected that the 45-year-old will be relieved of his duties after overseeing a run of eight games without a win, and United have just two wins from 12 games in all competitions this season.
Carrick only just survived last week's 4-1 defeat to Como in the Champions League and his players were unable to offer a reaction against the Cherries on Sunday.
United supporters made their feelings clear before, during and after that defeat, regularly singing Carrick's name while they barracked Wilcox and Berrada, as well as the club's co-owners Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the Glazer family.
The players were also booed off once Carrick had gone down the tunnel, but it's the head coach whose position is in danger and Wilcox and Berrada have both arrived at Carrington on Monday.
The players are on a scheduled day off today and aren't due to return to training until Tuesday, when preparations for the trip to Chelsea on Saturday will step up. The fact that it's a free midweek means United have more time to make a change if that is the route they opt to take.

Carrick said his emotional wave to United supporters on Sunday wasn't a farewell, but admitted after the game he was in the dark as to whether he will be sacked or not.

"I totally understand the situation. I'm not expecting anything in particular, to be honest," Carrick said when asked if he expected to be sacked.
"Carrying on as normal and I love this place. I'll always do what I feel is going to be the best for the football club, whatever decision is made on anything really. So that's kind of it. I'm not expecting anything either way."
