Manchester United has officially confirmed Michael Carrick’s dismissal from coaching post, following disappointing results at the beginning of the 2026/27 season.

The Red Days have decided to end their co-operation with the English coach, since the team has recorded only three wins in 15 matches in all of this edition.

Carrick was back at Old Tuffford in January this year, doing a great job last season.

Under his direction, United United won 12 out of the remaining 17 matches in the Premier League, finishing the championship in third place and securing the qualifications in the Champions League.

However, the situation has changed radically this season. Manchester United currently ranks 18th with only eight points after ten matches.

After a disappointing start of the season, the club has concluded that change is necessary to fulfill our ambitions, said the club communique.

Meanwhile, Maurizio Pochetino is the main candidate to replace Carrickun. According to English media reports, Argentina has reached verbal agreements with Manchester United, but its appointment has not yet been formalised.
