Michael Carrick sacked by Manchester United
Michael Carrick has been sacked as Manchester United head coach, the Press Association understands.
Former Tottenham and Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino is understood to have been lined up to replace him.
Former Red Devils midfielder, captain and coach Carrick led the side to third in the Premier League and Champions League qualification as interim boss following Ruben Amorim’s acrimonious exit in January.
The 45-year-old was rewarded with a two-year deal to stay on as United boss, but has been dismissed with the club in the relegation zone following Sunday’s 4-4 draw with Aston Villa.
PA understands there is a framework in place for Pochettino, who is currently head coach of the United States, to succeed Carrick.
