Man Utd is close to appointing a new manager to replace Michael Carrick following the latest developments.
On 11 Nov 2026 GMT+7, David Ornstein, Adam Crafton, and Laurie Whitwell, three prominent journalists from The Athletic, a leading UK media outlet, reported the latest updates on Manchester United's search for a new manager.
Sources indicate that Man Utd is in the final stages of securing Mauricio Pochettino to become the new head coach if a decisive decision is made to relieve Michael Carrick of his duties.
The Athletic reported last Monday that Man Utd is likely to dismiss Michael Carrick as the team struggles in the Premier League relegation zone.
Additionally, Dan Roan, BBC's sports news editor, reported yesterday that Michael Carrick's future will be determined at a Manchester United meeting in Monaco on Wednesday (11 Nov 2026 GMT+7), attended by club owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and executives Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox.
There is growing expectation that Omar Berrada, the chief executive, and Jason Wilcox, the football director, will recommend to co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the Glazer family that Carrick be removed from his position.
Berrada and Wilcox will present their recommendations, and a final decision regarding Carrick's future may not be made until Thursday.
