It's the end: Manchester United, currently in the relegation zone, has sacked its coach

Manchester United has sacked Michael Carrick following a poor start to the season, with Mauricio Pochettino expected to take over. Carrick had previously managed the team in 2021 and returned in January, leading them to a third-place finish last season. However, the team faced a nine-match winless streak, prompting criticism from captain Bruno Fernandes. The club acknowledged Carrick's dedication and professionalism but deemed a change necessary to achieve their goals. Pochettino, currently the U.S. national team coach, is set to replace Carrick, with a buyout fee of $10 million reportedly agreed upon.
