Manchester United hires Pochettino after firing Carrick
Summary

On November 13, 2026, Manchester United announced the firing of Michael Carrick following a poor start to the Premier League season. Carrick, who lasted ten months in charge, oversaw only one win in ten league matches. The club has opted not to hire Antonio Conte, instead paying Mauricio Pochettino's release clause from the USMNT. Pochettino takes over as the team currently sits in relegation zone and has struggled recently, although it performed slightly better in European competitions. Carrick's dismissal followed growing pressure as the team's form declined, leading to the club seeking a fresh approach under Pochettino, who has been linked to the job multiple times before.
