Manchester United is expected to relieve manager Michael Carrick of his duties, despite the club's insistence that no final decision has been made. Carrick, 45, initially took over from Ruben Amorim on an interim basis in January, securing a full-time appointment in May after guiding United to 11 wins in 16 matches, finishing third in the Premier League, and qualifying for the Champions League. However, the 2026-27 season has been disastrous, with the team currently 18th in the table with only eight points from 10 matches. Mauricio Pochettino, the USMNT coach, is considered a leading candidate, though he has a $10 million buyout clause. Eddie Howe and Julian Nagelsmann are also admired by the club. This potential change continues a trend of high managerial turnover at Old Trafford since Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement in 2013.
