BREAKING: Manchester United Sack Carrick As Head Coach

GISTSMATE MEDIA reports that Manchester United have sacked head coach Michael Carrick with immediate effect, according to Fabricio Romano.

The decision comes on Thursday, November 12, 2026, following a dismal start to the 2026–27 season that left the club in the Premier League relegation zone.

United have earned just eight points from their opening 10 Premier League matches, with their only league victory coming against Ipswich Town in August.

A 4–4 home draw against Aston Villa on Sunday, November 8, dropped the club to 18th place entering the international break.

This marks the first time United have sat in the bottom three past August in 40 years.

United were eliminated from the Carabao Cup by Brighton & Hove Albion and sit 17th in the Champions League table after two wins and two losses.

Carrick initially took over as caretaker boss in January 2026 following the dismissal of Ruben Amorim, guiding United to a third-place finish and Champions League qualification after collecting 39 points from 17 league games.

Rewarded with a two-year permanent contract in May 2026, his full-time tenure lasted less than six months.
