After Manchester United's 4-4 Premier League draw with Aston Villa at Old Trafford on Sunday, manager Michael Carrick made it clear he would not resign, saying: “It’s not going to happen, no.” Football365 said Manchester United had not sacked Carrick and were in the Premier League bottom three after 10 rounds of matches.
Manchester United's reported plans
Manchester United intend to relieve Carrick of his duties at Old Trafford, according to David Ornstein. Manchester United have reportedly decided to include Mauricio Pochettino's name as part of the process if they replace Carrick.
Pochettino as a possible option
TalkSPORT claimed that Pochettino would be interested in replacing Carrick as the Manchester United manager. Pochettino took over as the USMNT manager in September 2024 and signed a new contract in August 2026 to stay in charge until the end of the 2030 World Cup.
Mick Brown on a possible dismissal
Former Manchester United chief scout Mick Brown, giving his take on whether the Red Devils’ co-owners, INEOS, could sack Carrick, said: “From what I hear, Man United are still very reluctant to sack Michael Carrick.”
