Michael Carrick, OUT of Manchester United!

Michael Carrick has been dismissed from his position as Manchester United's head coach, with the club sitting in 18th place, in the Premier League relegation zone.

The decision comes after Sunday's dramatic 4-4 draw with Aston Villa at Old Trafford, which extended the club's winless run in the league to eight matches.

“After a disappointing start to the season, the club has concluded that a change is necessary to achieve our objectives. Michael is and will always be a Manchester United legend. As he did as a player, he conducted himself to the highest standards of dedication and professionalism throughout his return to the club. His leadership and achievements from last season will always be fondly remembered,” United said in a statement published on Thursday.
