Man United have parted ways with seven permanent managers since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013, following the dismissal of Michael Carrick on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\n

Carrick became the latest casualty of the club\u2019s managerial instability after United endured a disappointing start to the 2026\/27 Premier League season, leaving them in the relegation zone.<\/p>\n

\n

The former Man United midfielder was appointed head coach in January 2026, initially on an interim basis, before being handed a permanent contract in May after guiding the club to a third-place finish and Champions League qualification.<\/p>\n

\n

However, a poor run of results, including just three victories in 15 matches across all competitions this season, ultimately ended his 10-month spell at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

\n

His departure means seven permanent managers have now left the club since Ferguson brought his remarkable 26-year reign to an end in 2013.<\/p>\n

\n

Here is the full list of Man United managers who have been sacked since Ferguson\u2019s departure.<\/p>\n

\n

1. David Moyes (2013\u20132014)<\/strong><\/p>\n

David Moyes was appointed as Ferguson\u2019s successor in June 2013 on a six-year contract, having impressed during his time at Everton.<\/p>\n

However, the Scottish manager struggled to maintain United\u2019s dominance, with the club enduring a disappointing campaign that saw them miss out on Champions League qualification for the first time since 1995.<\/p>\n

Moyes was dismissed on April 22, 2014, after just 10 months in charge.<\/p>\n

2. Louis van Gaal (2014\u20132016)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Former Netherlands manager Louis van Gaal succeeded Moyes in May 2014, bringing considerable experience and an impressive managerial pedigree to Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

He guided United to Champions League qualification in his first season and won the FA Cup in 2016.<\/p>\n

However, the club\u2019s failure to qualify for the Champions League, despite winning the FA Cup, led to his dismissal on May 23, 2016, just two days after lifting the trophy.<\/p>\n

3. Jose Mourinho (2016\u20132018)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jose Mourinho became United\u2019s third permanent manager after Ferguson in May 2016.<\/p>\n

The Portuguese won three trophies during his first season, including the Europa League and League Cup, before finishing second in the Premier League in the 2017\/18 campaign.<\/p>\n

However, tensions within the club, disagreements over transfers and a poor start to the 2018\/19 season led to his dismissal on December 18, 2018.<\/p>\n

4. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (2018\u20132021)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Former United striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer initially joined the club as caretaker manager in December 2018 following Mourinho\u2019s departure.<\/p>\n

His impressive start earned him the permanent position, and he guided United to a second-place Premier League finish in the 2020\/21 season.<\/p>\n

However, a series of disappointing results, including a humiliating 5-0 home defeat to Liverpool, increased pressure on the Norwegian.<\/p>\n

He was eventually dismissed on November 21, 2021, following a 4-1 defeat to Watford.<\/p>\n

5. Erik ten Hag (2022\u20132024)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Erik ten Hag took charge of Manchester United in 2022 after establishing himself as one of Europe\u2019s promising coaches during his time at Ajax.<\/p>\n

The Dutchman won the League Cup in his first season and followed it with an FA Cup triumph in 2024.<\/p>\n

However, inconsistent performances and United\u2019s poor start to the 2024\/25 campaign led to his dismissal on October 28, 2024, following a 2-1 defeat to West Ham United.<\/p>\n

6. Ruben Amorim (2024\u20132026)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ruben Amorim was appointed in November 2024 after impressing at Sporting Lisbon, where he won domestic honours and established an attacking style of football.<\/p>\n

However, his time at Old Trafford was largely disappointing, with United struggling for consistency and failing to establish themselves among the Premier League\u2019s leading sides.<\/p>\n

The Portuguese won just 24 of his 63 matches in charge, recording a 38.1 per cent win rate.<\/p>\n

He was dismissed on January 5, 2026, after 14 months in charge.<\/p>\n

7. Michael Carrick (2026)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Michael Carrick became the seventh permanent manager to leave Manchester United since Ferguson\u2019s retirement.<\/p>\n

Appointed in January 2026, Carrick initially enjoyed an impressive spell, guiding United to third place in the Premier League and securing Champions League qualification.<\/p>\n

His performances earned him a two-year contract in May 2026.<\/p>\n

However, United\u2019s fortunes deteriorated in the 2026\/27 season, with the club recording just three wins in 15 matches across all competitions.<\/p>\n

The disappointing run left the Red Devils in the Premier League relegation zone, prompting the club to dismiss him on November 12, 2026.<\/p>\n

Carrick\u2019s departure has further extended United\u2019s search for stability in the dugout, with the club still struggling to replicate the success enjoyed under Ferguson.<\/p>\n
