Former Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel has criticised the club’s leadership over its handling of manager Michael Carrick, saying the way the situation is unfolding is “an expression of great disrespect”.
According to the Daily Mail, Manchester United are discussing Carrick’s dismissal at the highest level. The manager remains in charge of training at the club’s Carrington base while the future of his position is considered.
The club’s chief executive Omar Berrada and football director Jason Wilcox travelled to Monaco this week to meet Manchester United co-owner Jim Ratcliffe. Their discussions included agreeing a decision on whether Carrick should leave the club.
Mauricio Pochettino, who manages the United States national team, is regarded as the leading candidate to replace the Englishman.
Schmeichel, who played for Manchester United, criticised the club’s approach to the uncertainty surrounding Carrick’s position. His comments come as the manager continues to prepare the team for its upcoming commitments despite the reported discussions over his future.
