Manchester United has announced that they have parted ways with head coach Michael Carrick due to the team's poor start to the 2026/27 season. The club released a statement on Thursday confirming Carrick's departure, stating that a change was necessary to achieve their ambitions. Carrick had returned to Old Trafford in January and led United to a third-place finish in the Premier League last season, winning 12 of their last 17 matches.
Despite his achievements, including being nominated for Manager of the Season, United concluded that a different approach was needed after a disappointing start to the current campaign. The statement emphasized Carrick's dedication and professionalism, praising his leadership during his tenure at the club. United intends to appoint a permanent successor as soon as possible.
