MANCHESTER — Manchester United have sacked head coach Michael Carrick, the club confirmed in a statement on Thursday.
The club said it had come to the “extremely difficult conclusion that a change is necessary in order to achieve our ambitions” after a disappointing start to the season.
Carrick rejoined the club in January and guided the team to a third-placed Premier League finish by winning 12 out of the remaining 17 games of the 2025-26 season, accumulating the highest points tally in the league during that period.
“Michael is, and always will be, a Manchester United legend. Just as he did as a player, he has conducted himself with the highest standards of dedication and professionalism throughout his time back with the club. His leadership and achievements last season will always be fondly remembered,” the club said.
United said it intends to appoint a permanent successor as quickly as possible.
Carrick’s dismissal brings an abrupt end to a remarkable second spell at Old Trafford, where his late-season turnaround last term had raised hopes of a sustained revival.
The club has not announced an interim replacement, with focus now shifting to who will take charge for the next fixture.
