Manchester United begin hunt for Michael Carrick's replacement as Eddie Howe is 'open' to taking the Old Trafford job

Michael Carrick will still be in the dugout when Bournemouth visit Old Trafford on Sunday, but the club are already monitoring Antonio Conte, Julian Nagelsmann and Fabian Hurzeler. United bosses reportedly fear Conte would not fit the structure the club wants. United sit 13th with two wins from 11 games, their poorest start since 1986. Carrick faces the press at 1:30pm on Friday.

Captain Bruno Fernandes publicly blamed Carrick's tactics after the 4-1 thrashing at Como.

Lisandro Martinez was fined for his outburst, yet Fernandes faces no punishment.

Wayne Rooney urged Carrick to rest Fernandes: 'He might need a little break.'
