Manchester United have parted ways with head coach Michael Carrick, dismissing him with immediate effect following a dismal start to the 2026/27 football season.
The decision brings a sudden end to Carrick’s spell in charge at Old Trafford after a turbulent campaign that has left the Red Devils struggling in the Premier League relegation zone. Having collected just eight points from their opening 10 league fixtures, the club is enduring its worst start to a season in 40 years.
Club executives reportedly ran out of patience with the former Manchester United midfielder after a string of poor performances, highlighted by heavy defeats against Bournemouth and Como.
In the wake of Carrick’s exit, the Old Trafford hierarchy has moved quickly to secure a replacement, reportedly identifying former Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino as their top choice. Reports indicate that United have already reached an agreement in principle with the Argentine tactician, who currently serves as head coach of the United States men’s national team.
