Manchester United announced the departure of manager Michael Carrick following a poor start to the Premier League season, sitting in 18th place with just one win after 10 games. Reports indicate that Mauricio Pochettino has reached an agreement to become the new manager, with hopes that he will revitalize the team by centering his system around Bruno Fernandes. Carrick's tenure was marked by the team's failure to capitalize on Fernandes' potential, as he has struggled to replicate last season's form. Pochettino has a track record of maximizing attacking players, and experts believe he must alleviate Fernandes' defensive responsibilities to enhance his contributions in attack as he prepares for the club's future actions.
