Manchester United have sacked head coach Michael Carrick with immediate effect following the club’s disappointing start to the 2026/27 season.
Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported the development on Thursday morning, stating that the Premier League club had relieved the 45-year-old of his duties.
Carrick’s dismissal comes after United struggled for consistency, leaving the club in 18th position on the Premier League table after 10 matches.
The Red Devils have managed just one league victory this season, with their poor run of results increasing pressure on the former midfielder.
United’s management had reportedly reviewed Carrick’s position during the international break following a series of disappointing performances.
The club’s decision also comes amid reports linking former Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino with the vacant managerial position.
Pochettino, who currently manages the United States national team, has emerged as a leading candidate to replace Carrick at Old Trafford.
United are expected to face Liverpool at Anfield when the Premier League resumes on November 22.
