The former Red Devils midfielder oversaw the club\u2019s worst start to a season in four decades, managing just one Premier League victory in 10 matches.<\/p>\n

United have collected only eight points from their opening 10 league games, leaving them in the relegation zone with more than a quarter of the season completed.<\/p>\n

Their struggles have also extended to cup competitions, with the club winning only two of their five matches in the Carabao Cup and Champions League.<\/p>\n

United are expected to confirm Carrick\u2019s departure in an official statement on Thursday morning.<\/p>\n

Carrick arrived at the club\u2019s Carrington training ground earlier in the day to oversee training before holding a meeting with Jason Wilcox and Omar Berrada, after which the decision to dismiss him was communicated.<\/p>\n

The 44-year-old was appointed on a permanent basis in the summer and handed a two-year contract following an impressive interim spell in charge.<\/p>\n
