Manchester United Sack Carrick, Finalize Deal with Pochettino

Manchester United have sacked beleaguered manager Michael Carrick, following a wretched series of results for the storied English Premier League club.

The club announced the decision to part ways with Carrick on Thursday, saying in a statement, “After a disappointing start to the season, the club has come to the extremely difficult conclusion that a change is necessary in order to achieve our ambitions.”

The club has agreed a deal for Mauricio Pochettino to replace Carrick. BBC Sport cites reports that Pochettino will arrive at Old Trafford between November 18 and 19 to take charge of training, following his commitments to the United States national team.
