Manchester United sack Michael Carrick
Manchester United parted ways with manager Michael Carrick on Thursday, following a disastrous start to their Premier League season. The 54-year-old British footballer was dismissed after overseeing the club's worst opening to a league campaign in over 40 years. Carrick's tenure saw United falter to 18th in the 20-team standings, with just one win all season and eight points from 10 games.
The decision to let Carrick go was a result of the club's inability to meet their ambitions and secure the 20-time English champion's status. Club officials stated that a change was necessary to achieve their goals. United is set to announce a permanent replacement for Carrick as swiftly as possible.
The club has been exploring the possibility of hiring U.S. men's national team coach Mauricio Pochettino to take over from Carrick. Pochettino, a 54-year-old Argentine, currently has a contract with the U.S. team until the 2030 World Cup. The potential transfer is still under consideration, as no final decision has been made regarding Carrick's future.
