Agreed. OP should schedule a meeting with the manager to find out how they're doing, if expectations are being met, etc. It's entirely possible that things are just fine, but the boss has the wrong idea about this particular employee.

Before that, OP should get a clear set of expectations from the manager. If a manager doesn't express clear expectations and the metrics used to measure outcomes, then they can't expect them to be met.

Absolutely do schedule a meeting with your manager. Ask for actionable advice, ask for goals between now and review time or this will cost you.
