Résumé détaillé

Manchester United have made the decision to sack Michael Carrick - but who will replace him?

Manchester United have decided to sack Michael Carrick as manager following the chaotic 4-4 draw with Aston Villa at Old Trafford. The under-fire boss was given Sunday’s draw, and the visit of Roma earlier in the week, saw saw Man Utd overturn a 2-0 half-time deficit to win in the Champions League, but it hasn’t proven enough to keep his job.

Widespread reports overnight claim that a decision has finally been made, with Carrick set to depart and a new manager be appointed, but there remains plenty of questions regarding who the new man could be. Eddie Howe and Julian Nagelsmann were considered early frontrunners, and Antonio Conte is said to be keen, but it is Mauricio Pochettino who is now the favourite to land the job.

United head into the November international break sitting inside the bottom three amid genuine fears over a potential relegation battle this season, having won just one of their first 10 matches - at home to newly-promoted Ipswich back in August - and collected only eight points with a tough trip to Liverpool to come next. Whoever come in has an almighty task on their hands. Follow the latest on Michael Carrick’s Manchester United future live below!
