Michael Carrick sacked as Manchester United head coach as turmoil deepens
The 45-year-old's departure comes after several days of uncertainty over his future, with United already working on appointing Mauricio Pochettino as his replacement.
Michael Carrick was granted a two-year contract as Manchester United's head coach on May 22nd. On the evening of November 8th, United were trailing Aston Villa by four goals. Carrick pleaded for patience, but United went on to win the match. United scored twice in stoppage time to secure a 4-4 draw. After the match, Carrick celebrated the equalizer by raising an arm in the air and walked around the pitch, accepting applause from the supporters.
Despite his evident desire to support his club and players, Carrick's tenure was short-lived. United's performance in the following weeks was erratic, leading to their decision to replace Carrick mid-season.
