Manchester United Part Ways With Carrick, Reach Deal With Pochettino



Manchester United dismissed head coach Michael Carrick after a poor start to the 2026-27 season, sitting in the Premier League relegation zone with one win from 10 games. The club reached a verbal agreement in principle with Mauricio Pochettino, triggering his $10 million release clause from the U.S. national team, with formal contact made to U.S. Soccer. 

Tributes praised Carrick's commitment, noting he guided the team to the Champions League against expectations and worked diligently amid challenges, while Pochettino is set to join after USMNT matches against Haiti.
