Manchester United parted ways with manager Michael Carrick yesterday, after the club's worst start to a Premier League season. The United States men's national team coach Mauricio Pochettino is a potential replacement. Carrick's dismissal occurs less than six months after he signed a two-year contract to stabilize the once-powerful English soccer team.
United had not won the league since manager Alex Ferguson stepped down in 2013. A 4-4 draw against Aston Villa on Sunday left the team in 18th place in the 20-team standings and facing relegation after just one league victory all season. The club described the decision as "extremely difficult" and intends to appoint a permanent replacement as soon as possible.
United is reportedly in talks to have Pochettino, a 54-year-old Argentine who has previously managed Southampton, Tottenham, and Chelsea, take over the role. Pochettino took over the United States in October 2024 and led them to the round of 16 at this year's World Cup.
