Manchester United sack Michael Carrick with club toiling in relegation zone

What's behind this

Manchester United have dismissed head coach Michael Carrick after a disappointing start to the 2026‑27 campaign that left the club in the relegation zone. In the first ten Premier League matches United sit 18th with just one win, described as their worst start to a league season in decades, while in the Champions League they are 17th with two wins from four games. The club’s poor run has ended Carrick’s tenure, and Mauricio Pochettino is expected to take over.
