Manchester United reach ‘verbal agreement’ with Pochettino to replace Carrick

Manchester United reach ‘verbal agreement’ with Pochettino to replace Carrick

What's behind this

Manchester United dismissed head coach Michael Carrick with immediate effect after the club recorded only one league win in the first ten Premier League matches of the 2026‑27 season, leaving them in 18th place and the relegation zone. The start, described as the worst in four decades, yielded eight points from ten games and saw United also sit 17th in the Champions League with two wins from four. Carrick, who had guided United to a third‑place finish the previous season, was replaced, with Mauricio Pochettino expected to take over.
