Manchester United have announced the departure of head coach Michael Carrick. The decision was taken after the team's poor start to the current Premier League season.
After 10 rounds, United have collected eight points and sit 18th in the table, in the relegation zone.
The club said a new head coach would be appointed "as soon as possible". According to specialist media, one of the candidates for the post is the current head coach of the US national team, Mauricio Pochettino.
Carrick, 45, took charge of Manchester United in the middle of last season. At the time, the team were seventh in the table, but they finished the season in third place and qualified for the Champions League for the first time in three years.
