Man United sack Carrick while in relegation zone, sources say Pochettino close

Manchester United have sacked head coach Michael Carrick after the club determined there was insufficient evidence of improvement following a comprehensive review. Carrick was informed of the decision at Carrington on Thursday by executives Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox, with the club sitting 18th in the Premier League relegation zone after just one league win all season. United are reportedly close to an agreement with Mauricio Pochettino as his successor, with the club making contact with the U.S. Soccer Federation regarding his availability.
