(FILES) Manchester United's English head coach Michael Carrick reacts after the English Premier League football match between Everton and Manchester United at Hill Dickinson Stadium in Liverpool, north-west England on September 6, 2026. Manchester United sacked manager Michael Carrick on November 12, after their worst-ever start to a Premier League campaign, with USA boss Mauricio Pochettino expected to replace him, according to widespread reports. Former United midfielder Carrick led the team to an impressive third-place finish last season but they have taken just eight points from 10 games in the current campaign and are mired in the relegation zone.
