Manchester United Sack Michael Carrick
Manchester United have reportedly dismissed Michael Carrick as head coach, bringing his spell at Old Trafford to an end following a disappointing start to the 2026/27 season.
The decision opens the door for former Tottenham and Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino, who is reportedly close to agreeing a deal to take charge of the Red Devils.
Pochettino, currently managing the United States national team, has reached an agreement in principle with Manchester United over a potential appointment.
The Argentine is expected to replace Carrick as the club looks to turn around its difficult campaign.
