Carrick was sacked by Manchester United on 12 November 2026 with the team in the Premier League relegation zone.

He leaves after one win in 11 games.

Pochettino is poised to take over.

A reader, Chris, emailed that "seeing Carrick go is a sad end to a horrible situation" and said he had "never experienced a more toxic atmosphere at a football ground" after taking his eight-year-old to Old Trafford for the Brighton game in the FA Cup in January.
