BERLIN, Nov 12 (Bernama-dpa) -- Manchester United have sacked head coach Michael Carrick, the club said in a statement, German Press Agency (dpa) reported.
"Manchester United can confirm that Michael Carrick has departed his role as men's first-team head coach," the statement read.
Carrick, a former United player, rejoined the club in January and guided the team to a third place in the Premier League. However, amid a disappointing start to the season, the Red Devils are currently in the relegation zone.
"The club has come to the extremely difficult conclusion that a change is necessary in order to achieve our ambitions," United said.
United States national team boss Mauricio Pochettino has reportedly been lined-up as a replacement.
