Manchester United parted ways with Michael Carrick following their worst-ever Premier League start, leaving the club mired in the relegation zone.
LONDON: Manchester United sacked manager Michael Carrick on Thursday after their worst ever start to a Premier League campaign, with USA boss Mauricio Pochettino widely expected to replace him.
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.
“Manchester United can confirm that Michael Carrick has departed his role as men’s first-team head coach,” the club said in a statement.
