Michael Carrick’s Manchester United future will be decided at a meeting on Wednesday, with an official announcement expected later in the week.
The meeting will be attended by Sir Jim Ratcliffe and executives Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox in Monaco.
Berrada and Wilcox will reportedly recommend to Ratcliffe and the Glazer family that they sack the 45-year-old, according to the BBC.
They will lay out their views at the meeting, which is understood to have been pre-planned and not focused solely on Carrick’s position.
The club may not announce anything until Thursday, with United bosses reportedly wanting to tell Carrick about his future face-to-face.
The United boss arrived at training early today and has overseen proceedings with his team this morning.
His side have won only three games in all competitions so far this season and just once in the Premier League.
Carrick stressed he would not step away from the job despite the turbulent start to the campaign.

He said: “Yeah, it’s been a right mixed week or two or three, really, if you’re looking at the events.
“But I’m pretty clear where we need to go and how we need to get there.
“Obviously some of the boys will be flying off around the world, and different things, and the group will be split for 10 days or so.
“But as a normal international week is, you know, we’ll have some training. We’ll have one or two days off, but not too much.
“But we’ll train, and we’ll get ready for the next game.”
United play Liverpool next after this international break and have no mid-week rest until mid-December.
Mauricio Pochettino has emerged as the leading contender to take over from Carrick should he be dismissed.
The Argentine, who is in charge of the United States national team, is open to discussions about joining United, according to Sky Sports.
Carrick’s future at United now hangs by a thread after a torrid start to the season.
The 45-year-old previously remained optimistic despite the nightmare start, saying: “Goals change games, and you’ve got to deal with it, and it’s part of something we have to improve on drastically.
“But there’s more than enough. We’re just making it too difficult for ourselves at the moment in certain times.”
