The club have not detailed the reasoning behind the decision beyond the brief confirmation of his departure.\n\nSources indicate a deal with USMNT coach Pochettino is close, suggesting United already have their eyes on a successor. Nothing has been finalized publicly, and the club has not named an interim or permanent replacement at this stage.\n\nThe move marks another shift in Manchester United's recent run of changes at the top of the coaching staff, with the search for stability continuing as the club looks to settle on its next long-term appointment.","published_at":"2026-11-12T19:07:55.766058+00:00","source_count":5,"written_from":[{"outlet":"ESPN","publisher":"ESPN","title":"Manchester United fires Carrick; sources say deal with USMNT's Pochettino close","url":"https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/50180844/man-united-michael-carrick-sacked-pochettino"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Manchester United sack Michael Carrick","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/manchester-united-sack-michael-carrick-110325971.html"},{"outlet":"The Athletic","publisher":"The Athletic","title":"Manchester United part ways with Michael Carrick","url":"https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7683765/2026/11/12/michael-carrick-sacked-manchester-united-head-coach/"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Man Utd line up Pochettino as Carrick’s replacement – reports","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/man-utd-line-pochettino-carrick-112800554.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Man United players have pinpointed the three reasons why Michael Carrick deserves the sack","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/man-united-players-pinpointed-three-181500610.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Manchester United sack Michael Carrick","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/manchester-united-sack-michael-carrick-093700790.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Manchester United sack Michael Carrick, set to appoint USMNT coach","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/manchester-united-sack-michael-carrick-100139919.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Manchester United reportedly sack Michael Carrick with Pochettino in line","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/manchester-united-reportedly-sack-michael-101400072.html"},{"outlet":"The Athletic","publisher":"The Athletic","title":"Michael Carrick sacked live updates: Manchester United next manager latest with Mauricio Pochettino lined up","url":"https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/live-blogs/manchester-united-carrick-sacked-live-updates-pochettino/sMKxjJsvUDPM/"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"🚨 BREAKING: Man Utd sack Michael Carrick after horror start to season","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/breaking-man-utd-sack-michael-104100426.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Carrick sacked as Manchester United head coach","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/carrick-sacked-manchester-united-head-103616276.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"🚨 Game over!
