Summary
Manchester United fired Michael Carrick after a 4-4 home draw with Aston Villa extended the slump that has left the club in the Premier League relegation zone.
Just 8 points from 10 league games and only 3 wins in 15 matches in all competitions drove the decision, with United saying a managerial change was needed after a disappointing start.
Carrick had briefly revived United after taking over from Ruben Amorim in January, winning 11 of his first 16 games and earning a deal through 2028 before this season unraveled into a nine-match winless run.
Mauricio Pochettino is expected by British media to replace him, though the U.S. men's national team coach may stay through upcoming Nations League quarter-finals before a likely debut at Liverpool.
