Story summary

As of November 11, 2026, Manchester United have decided to sack interim manager Michael Carrick after a series of poor performances and lackluster results that saw the team drop into the relegation zone. The decision was made during a crisis meeting held in Monaco on Wednesday, involving club executives including Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Omar Berrada, and Jason Wilcox. Carrick's position became under severe scrutiny following an eight-game winless streak across all competitions, which ended with a narrow 3-2 victory over Roma in the Champions League. Despite fans and players showing support for Carrick, particularly during a dramatic 4-4 draw against Aston Villa, Manchester United’s board is now focused on identifying new replacements such as Mauricio Pochettino, Eddie Howe, Julian Nagelsmann, and Aaron Danks from Bayern Munich.

The former Tottenham and Chelsea boss is now the favourite among bookmakers for the job amid reports Man Utd chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox will recommend a managerial change during a scheduled meeting with the Glazer family and minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
“Maybe three or four senior players will be in and around [the training ground], but we’ll certainly train next week and maybe have the weekend off.
In 2028, Man United will celebrate its 150th anniversary and Berrada has previously gone on record stating the plan to mark the landmark achievement is by winning both the men's and women's league titles.
As such work will now begin at the club’s Carrington training ground to appoint a new manager before the Liverpool clash on November 22 and Pochettino has emerged as the new front-runner with the bookmakers.
When will Manchester United sack Michael Carrick?
The Argentine, who managed both Tottenham and Chelsea in the Premier League, has emerged as the new favourite to replace Michael Carrick - who is reportedly expected to be relieved of his duties as Man Utd head coach.
The Argentine, who managed both Tottenham and Chelsea in the Premier League, has emerged as the new favourite to replace Michael Carrick - who is reportedly expected to be relieved of his duties as Man Utd head coach.
However, the former United and England midfielder has been unable to keep the good times rolling and is now set to pay the ultimate price.
While the under-pressure manager ended a run of nine games without a win as Man United beat Roma in the Champions League last week and then rescued a point at home to Aston Villa - having twice trailed by two goals - those results will not be enough to keep Carrick in the job.
This is because Danks would not be expected to leave the Bundesliga champions mid-season, and has performed well in the absence of Vincent Kompany, who was taken to hospital last month fter collapsing during reserve-team training.
