Manchester United has now pulled the plug: Coach Michael Carrick has to pack his bags! 

It’s over! After a disastrous start to the season, Manchester United is parting ways with Michael Carrick. This has been reported by, among others, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano; official confirmation from the club is still pending. Carrick’s potential successor is no stranger to the Premier League.

According to English media reports, it is likely to be former Chelsea, Tottenham, and Southampton coach Mauricio Pochettino, who is currently on the sidelines with the U.S. national team. Manchester United is reportedly set to pay a buyout clause of around nine million euros for him—contact has already been made with the U.S. national team.

Clashes with Regulars
It was an open secret that Carrick had been on shaky ground for weeks. Currently, the 13-time Premier League champions sit in 18th place after ten matchdays, putting them in a relegation spot.

In recent weeks, there have also been frequent clashes between the coach and several regulars, such as captain Bruno Fernandes and Lisandro Martinez.

However, their performance quickly declined in the new season. Unbelievable but true: the top-tier club is now in a relegation battle.
