BREAKING: EPL: Manchester United sack manager Michael Carrick

Manchester United have dismissed manager Michael Carrick with immediate effect, according to reports.

The development was announced by football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano in a post on X on Thursday.

Carrick’s departure comes just days after United played out a thrilling 4-4 draw against Aston Villa in the Premier League.

The result has added to the pressure surrounding the club, with Manchester United now expected to appoint Mauricio Pochettino as Carrick’s replacement.

Pochettino has reportedly reached an agreement with the Old Trafford club and is expected to take charge following Carrick’s exit.

Carrick was appointed Manchester United’s permanent manager after guiding the team to Champions League qualification last season.
