As speculation mounted over Michael Carrick's sacking as Manchester United manager, the English manager of that team appeared at Carrington's training ground on Wednesday morning and responded to photographers by displaying a 'thumbs up' sign.
According to the Daily Mail, the managers of Manchester United are expected to decide to end the cooperation with Carrick due to the team's poor results. Mauricio Pochettino, the current head coach of the US national team, has been announced as the main option to replace him.
Manchester United co-owner Jim Ratcliffe is set to discuss the future of Manchester United's bench with Omar Barda, the club's chief executive, and Jason Wilcox, the team's director of football, at a meeting in Monaco.
According to this report, if Carrick is fired, the total compensation paid to members of the club's technical and managerial staff over the past three years will reach around £30 million.
Also, Manchester United must pay another seven million pounds to attract Pochettino and release him from his contract with the American national team.
Despite these speculations, no official decision has yet been announced regarding Crick's dismissal.
