Manchester United have sacked head coach Michael Carrick with the club sitting in the Premier League’s relegation zone. The decision comes after owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe met with executives Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox in Monaco.
Former Tottenham and Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino is believed to be ready to accept an offer to replace Carrick – United have ‘opened talks’ with him.
It follows their 4-4 draw with Aston Villa on Sunday, which leaves them sitting in the Premier League’s relegation zone.
Carrick took interim charge in January and led club to a third-place finish before signing two-year deal in summer.
