Michael Carrick appeared at Carrington on Tuesday morning, only a day after club chiefs held discussions regarding his future. The 45-year-old spent about three hours at the training complex yesterday observing the Under-21s in a friendly match against Hull City.
Meanwhile, chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox participated in a crisis meeting. Carrick has faced mounting pressure over recent months due to United's difficult start to the season.
Reports widely suggested that Sunday's 3-0 home defeat against Bournemouth would mark his final match in the dugout. However, he showed up at Carrington in United training gear on Tuesday morning.
Manchester United declined to comment on whether he will lead the training session. The Red Devils currently sit 16th in the Premier League table, one point clear of the relegation zone, and are eight games without a win.
Eddie Howe is considered the favorite to succeed Carrick if he departs. The 48-year-old has observed United matches and taken notes in anticipation of the position becoming vacant. Former Germany manager Julian Nagelsmann is also viewed as a potential candidate.
United players were left speechless following jeers from supporters on Sunday. Fans initially displayed support for Carrick before mercilessly booing the players as they headed down the tunnel.
