LONDON, United Kingdom (AFP) — Manchester United sacked manager Michael Carrick on Thursday after their worst-ever start to a Premier League campaign, with United States (US) boss Mauricio Pochettino widely tipped to replace him.
Former United captain Carrick led the team to an impressive third-place finish last season, but they have taken just eight points from 10 games in the current campaign and are in the relegation zone.

The club confirmed in a statement that it had parted ways with the 45-year-old, following mounting speculation he would be axed during the international break.
