Manchester United Replace Michael Carrick with Mauricio Pochettino as Head Coach
Manchester United has dismissed head coach Michael Carrick after a poor start to the 2026-27 Premier League season, with the team sitting 18th and having only one league win. The club plans to appoint Mauricio Pochettino, currently managing the United States national team, as the new head coach. Pochettino is expected to sign a two-and-a-half-year contract and take charge ahead of the November 22 match against Liverpool. The decision follows discussions involving club executives and minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
