Michael Carrick has been sacked by Manchester United following a run of just one win from their first 10 league games this season.

Carrick was only appointed on a permanent basis in May, and despite coming back twice against Aston Villa to draw 4-4 before the international break, United currently sit 18th in the Premier League.

This disastrous start to the new season has convinced the club to part ways with their former midfielder, who won five league titles and a Champions League there as a player.

The decision follows a crisis meeting in Monaco between co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox.

In a statement on their website, United said: “Manchester United can confirm that Michael Carrick has departed his role as men’s first-team head coach.

“Michael rejoined the club in January and guided the team to a third-placed Premier League finish by winning 12 out of the remaining 17 games of the 2025-26 season, accumulating the highest points tally in the league during that period.

“After a disappointing start to the season, the club has come to the extremely difficult conclusion that a change is necessary in order to achieve our ambitions.

“Michael is, and always will be, a Manchester United legend. Just as he did as a player, he has conducted himself with the highest standards of dedication and professionalism throughout his time back with the club. His leadership and achievements last season will always be fondly remembered.

“The club intends to appoint a permanent successor as quickly as possible.”
