Michael Carrick has been dismissed by Manchester United following the club’s worst start to a Premier League season in 40 years.
A 4–4 draw with Aston Villa left United in 18th place in the relegation zone, managing only one league win and eight points from their first 10 matches.
Carrick was given a two-year permanent contract less than six months ago after guiding them to a third-place finish last season, but a grueling eight-game winless run in the league sealed his exit.
Sources indicate that Manchester United is looking into bringing in U.S. men’s national team coach Mauricio Pochettino, though he is currently under contract through the 2030 World Cup.
The dismissal has intensified fan and stakeholder scrutiny on co-owners INEOS (Jim Ratcliffe) and the Glazer family, with the Manchester United Supporters’ Trust pointing out that recurring managerial instability stems from deeper structural and ownership issues.
