Manchester United has dismissed head coach Michael Carrick, making him the third consecutive manager to be sacked midway through the season at Old Trafford over the past three years.
The departure follows a difficult run of form that left the club struggling in the Premier League relegation zone after enduring their worst start to a Premier League campaign. Following the decision, reports have linked former Chelsea and Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino with the vacant managerial position.
Carrick’s tenure ends amid ongoing turbulence at the club, continuing a cycle of managerial departures that has characterized recent seasons for the English giants.
