Manchester United fires coach Michael Carrick

Manchester United has officially announced the dismissal of coach Michael Carrick following a disappointing start to the season. The club stated that a change was necessary to achieve their ambitions. Carrick, who took over in January 2026, led the team to a third-place finish last season but has struggled this year, with only one win in the Premier League and elimination from the League Cup. The club praised Carrick as a legend and plans to appoint a permanent successor soon, with Mauricio Pochettino being a potential candidate.
