Manchester United have terminated the employment of manager Michael Carrick, as reported by football transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano on Thursday morning. Carrick, a 45-year-old manager, had been appointed permanently at Old Trafford at the start of the season, succeeding in securing a third-place position in the Premier League during his interim tenure last year.
However, the team's performance has faltered, with results remaining stagnant in the recent weeks. Manchester United currently finds itself in the relegation zone within the Premier League standings, occupying the 18th position. Additionally, the club ranks 17th among 36 teams in the Champions League. The decision to part ways with Carrick was anticipated due to the club's disappointing results and mounting pressure.
Mauricio Pochettino, a former manager of Tottenham Hotspur, Paris Saint-Germain, and Chelsea, is considered the frontrunner to succeed Carrick. Pochettino, currently leading the United States national team, is expected to be evaluated for the managerial position at Old Trafford as Manchester United endeavors to turn their season around.
