Manchester United have dismissed coach Michael Carrick. The decision was confirmed by club sources on Thursday (November 12). The English Premier League giants have officially parted ways with the former midfielder, who was serving in a coaching capacity.

Carrick's Departure

While the club has not issued an official statement, it has been confirmed that Carrick is no longer associated with the team. Analysts attribute his exit to the team's recent poor run of form. Since Carrick took charge, the team's performance failed to show the expected improvement, prompting the club's hierarchy to make this decision.

Pochettino's Arrival?

Prior to the news of Carrick's dismissal, speculation had already emerged that Mauricio Pochettino has agreed to become Manchester United's next manager. A report from Bangladesh Pratidin stated that the former Tottenham Hotspur and Paris Saint-Germain coach has consented to take the helm at Old Trafford. However, the club is yet to officially confirm Pochettino's appointment.

Fan Reaction

The news of Carrick's departure has drawn mixed reactions from Manchester United supporters. While some have welcomed the decision, others have expressed sympathy for the departing coach. Although no official announcement has been made regarding the club's future plans, football pundits believe that if Pochettino's appointment is finalized, it could usher in a new era for the club.
