Man Utd expected to sack head coach Carrick
What happened
Manchester United sacked head coach Michael Carrick on Thursday, after a 4-4 draw with Aston Villa left the club 18th in the Premier League, according to the Cyprus Mail.
United have won three of 15 games in all competitions under Carrick this season, with one league victory, and sit one point above the bottom.
The club said in a statement that it had reached an "extremely difficult conclusion" that a change was needed to achieve its ambitions.
BBC Sport reported in October that United had sounded out Eddie Howe and Julian Nagelsmann, while Antonio Conte is keen on the job and Mauricio Pochettino is open to it.
United said they are working to appoint a permanent successor as soon as possible; Carrick was given a contract until 2028 after taking over on an interim basis in January.
