Manchester United Sack Michael Carrick as Pochettino Is Lined up After Disastrous Start

United have won one of their opening 10 league games, and Pochettino is set to replace Carrick after paperwork is completed.

  • Manchester United sacked head coach Michael Carrick on Thursday morning after winning just one of their opening 10 Premier League games, the club's worst start since 1986.
  • Pochettino will be installed before United's match against Liverpool a week on Sunday, pending paperwork to release him from his US Soccer contract, with Wilcox overseeing the transition.
  • Peter Schmeichel criticized the hierarchy for treating a five-time Premier League winner poorly, while The Dane told Sky Vegas, "These people are not Manchester United people."
  • Vox pops outside Old Trafford revealed fan skepticism, with one supporter telling The BBC he does not "think that there is a single manager in world football" capable of improving the club.
  • Structural issues stemming from the Glazer family's 2005 leveraged buyout continue to plague the club, leading observers to suggest sacking Carrick is a futile distraction from deeper problems.
