Emery and Nagelsmann are top targets if Manchester United sack Carrick - 开云

• Carrick expected to be in charge for Bournemouth game

• Compensation could be obstacle for Aston Villa’s Emery

Unai Emery and Julian Nagelsmann have emerged as leading targets to replace Michael Carrick as Manchester United’s head coach should the board decide on a change after the club’s poorest start to the season since 1986.

Carrick is expected to remain in place for Sunday’s visit of Bournemouth – he is due to hold his pre-game media conference on Friday – but the 45-year-old’s job is in the balance after two wins from 11 games this season.
