Manchester United expected to sack Michael Carrick

sportsNov 9, 202617195

Manchester United are reviewing head coach Michael Carrick’s position during the international break after spending the two-week hiatus in the Premier League relegation zone. United have won just one of their first 10 league games, most recently drawing 4-4 with Aston Villa following a 3-2 comeback win over Roma and a 2-0 defeat at Chelsea that included a red card for Lisandro Martinez. The club hierarchy will discuss Carrick’s future in coming days with director of football Jason Wilcox and chief executive Omar Berrada playing key roles in those meetings. Carrick told reporters he would not walk away, calling recent weeks “a right mixed week or two or three” and saying “goals change games” while stressing he knows how to improve the team. The final international break is a logical window for a change because United return to the league away to Liverpool on 22 November. Eddie Howe and Julian Nagelsmann are reported contenders to replace Carrick, and Mauricio Pochettino is frequently linked with the job with bookmakers shortening his odds.

I personally think they should reconsider

If Carrick goes, Wilcox's position becomes untenable. He has failed with every big decision he has made. He badly let Carrick down in the summer, after Carrick secured CL football & rectified Wilcox's massive Amorim error. #WilcoxOut

god i hope they get relegated

Disgusting way for the club to release this news.

Sacking manager outside transfer window should incur a points deduction

Same shit, different day. Carrick may not have been the guy to bring back league titles, but the idea that these lazy entitled badly assemebled error prone pricks will suddenly come good under yet ANOTHER manager is idiotic.

ffs. Can’t they wait another 12-48 months?

Can we have Evra next? Or Scholes? Pretty please??

James Swinbanks3

Bring in a manager whose team scores more points than any other in the last half of last season, only to not back him, bringing in mediocre players and ignoring obvious gaps in the squad. Get Berrada and Wilcox out of my club, immediately. Carrick will forever be a club legend.

🤷 He's not good enough and needs to go but that should have been obvious in the summer and we should have got someone at that point, coming in on a high. Instead, whoever comes in now has to deal with the grim toxicity between fans, players and owners, players down on confidence etc. Pointless.

This is Manchester United we're talking about! 😏

Man U CAN sack Carrick, but it’s not going to fix most of their issues and they restart the cycle that’s been going on for well over a decade now. There’s just a rotten stink that has plagued this club and no one seems to be willing to admit any fault(s), let alone, trying to actually resolve it

Adam Levitt10

Is it weird that I'm actually surprised by this?

Had to happen, but obviously it’s weeks too late, means very little if the clowns above him don’t go too, and that it’s leaking before it happens feels entirely on-brand for this ownership. Well done lads, good process

kyle6

Look, I know I generally accept every job that's available and this is the club I support, but no fucking thank you, I'm good

Doc MUFC6

Can we replace the cunts above him too? I called it when they were appointed but there is no chance that Berrada and Wilcox are the right people for the job. Blue cunts.

Gobshites can't even sack a manager properly.

*Another* new manager should fix it

Can they even afford to pay him off?

@heisenbergkamp.bsky.social

Man United don’t have the GUTS to hire a proven Premier League winner like Pochettino. He is simply too smart, too accomplished, too tactically astute, they are too afraid of the success he would bring.

Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush. Again. Thoroughly decent and likeable Michael Carrick. Tried his best. The dressing room imploded. Again. Can anyone stop/avoid/get out of this rinse and repeat? And, as always #Glazersout is the most vital removal out of MUFC.

@cartoonstevebould.bsky.social

It is extremely amusing to me that Man United have basically put the fortunes of the club in the hands of the man who was Southampton's DoF when they went down, and a man who was so close to City's skullduggery that he probably has an offical Etihad Airways email address.

All the in the know Evertonians saying it's Moyes who's gonna replace Michael Carrick at Man United....yer wrong! It's gonna be Brendan Rodgers. Apparently he has a house in the area....

Klopp rented his house i believe so you’re right 👍🏻

In fairness, he has houses everywhere.

What happened to Eddie Howe?

James Trafford could be in line to split England GK duties with Jordan Pickford again this int'l break. Would be fully deserved for the Leeds United man who has been outstanding👇 #LUFC www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/sport/footba...

If Man Utd don't get out of the bottom three on 22nd November, it'll be the latest into a top-flight season they've been in the relegation zone since they were last relegated in 1974. Could they really get relegated? theanalyst.com/articles/cou...
