Manchester United Sack Michael Carrick

-



Manchester United have sacked manager Michael Carrick on Thursday, November 12, 2026, after their worst-ever start to a Premier League campaign, with the USA boss, Mauricio Pochettino expected to replace him.

Former United midfielder, Michael Carrick led the team to an impressive third-place finish last season but they have taken just eight points from 10 games in the current campaign and are mired in the relegation zone.

“Manchester United can confirm that Michael Carrick has departed his role as men’s first-team head coach,” the club said in a statement.

It added: After a disappointing start to the season, the club has come to the extremely difficult conclusion that a change is necessary in order to achieve our ambitions.”

Carrick’s final game in charge was a chaotic 4-4 draw against Aston Villa on Sunday, after which he stressed he would not walk away and was looking to the international break as usual.

But the United hierarchy have decided to act in the hope of saving their season after a paltry three wins in all competitions.

Former Tottenham, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain boss Pochettino would have an enormous task on his hands to revive a club that has never recovered from the departure of Alex Ferguson 13 years ago.

The Red Devils, once the dominant force in English football, have been overtaken by Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal.

United’s next game is against fierce rivals Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday, November 22, 2026.

According to the court, it was a former Governor of the state, Senator Rochas Okorocha, who garnered the highest number of votes cast at the primary election and therefore ought to have been nominated by the party. Consequently, Justice Egwuatu ordered INEC to forthwith recognise Senator Okorocha and publish his name as the authentic candidate of the APC for the senatorial poll. It further issued an order barring Governor Hope ...
