\"Updated:<\/p>\n

Manchester United sacked manager Michael Carrick on Thursday after their worst-ever start to a Premier League campaign, with USA boss Mauricio Pochettino expected to replace him.<\/p>\n

Former United midfielder Carrick led the team to an impressive third-place finish last season but they have taken just eight points from 10 games in the current campaign and are mired in the relegation zone.<\/p>\n

\u201cManchester United can confirm that Michael Carrick has departed his role as men\u2019s first-team head coach,\u201d the club said in a statement.<\/p>\n

It added: \u201cAfter a disappointing start to the season, the club has come to the extremely difficult conclusion that a change is necessary in order to achieve our ambitions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Carrick\u2019s final game in charge was a chaotic 4-4 draw against Aston Villa on Sunday, after which he stressed he would not walk away and was looking to the international break as usual.<\/p>\n

But the United hierarchy have decided to act in the hope of saving their season after a paltry three wins in all competitions.<\/p>\n

Former Tottenham, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain boss Pochettino would have an enormous task on his hands to revive a club that has never recovered from the departure of Alex Ferguson 13 years ago.<\/p>\n

The Red Devils, once the dominant force in English football, have been overtaken by Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal.<\/p>\n

United\u2019s next game is against fierce rivals Liverpool at Anfield on November 22.<\/p>\n
