Breaking: Man Utd sack Carrick with immediate effect

by · The Eagle Online

Manchester United have sacked manager Michael Carrick with immediate effect, with the club set to appoint Mauricio Pochettino as his replacement.

Football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano broke the news on Thursday in a post on his X page.

Romano wrote: “BREAKING: MANCHESTER UNITED HAVE SACKED MICHAEL CARRICK WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT.”

Carrick’s dismissal follows a disastrous start to the season, with Manchester United struggling to improve their performances in recent weeks.

The 45-year-old took charge of the club on a permanent basis at the beginning of the season after guiding the Red Devils to an impressive third-place finish in the Premier League during his spell as interim manager last season.

However, United have endured a difficult campaign, currently sitting 18th in the Premier League, below the relegation line, and 17th out of 36 teams in the Champions League.

Pochettino is expected to take over at Old Trafford, with United having reportedly reached a personal agreement with the Argentine coach.

The former Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea manager is currently under contract with the United States federation until mid-2030 and has a release clause estimated at around €9m.

The clause could allow Manchester United to complete the appointment quickly, with Pochettino potentially making his debut against Liverpool at Anfield on November 22.

Carrick, meanwhile, will be looking for another managerial opportunity after his departure. He previously managed Middlesbrough in the English second tier.

Manchester United are yet to officially confirm his dismissal.
