Carrick sacked as Manchester United head coach

Manchester United have dismissed head coach Michael Carrick, with the club currently languishing in the relegation zone of the Premier League. The decision follows a 4-4 draw with Aston Villa on Sunday, which has left United at the bottom of the table. Owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe met with executives Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox in Monaco to discuss the move.

Mauricio Pochettino, a former Tottenham and Chelsea manager, is reportedly ready to accept an offer to replace Carrick, with United having opened talks with him. United have only won one of their opening 10 games in the league under Carrick's leadership. Carrick was appointed as interim head coach in January and led the club to a third-place finish before signing a two-year deal in the summer.
