Manchester United manager Michael Carrick has been sacked, with the club set to hand him approximately KSh 500 million as compensation for his dismissal.
Carrick was informed of the decision on Thursday, 12 November 2026, following discussions between co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and senior figures at the club. His exit brings a relatively short reign at Old Trafford to an end after less than a year in permanent charge.
The former England international first stepped in as interim manager in January 2026 after Ruben Amorim left the club. He impressed enough in that caretaker role to earn a full-time, two-year contract in May. However, the 2026/27 Premier League campaign quickly unravelled, with United managing just eight points from their first 10 league games to find themselves bottom of the table in 18th place. That run of results ultimately cost Carrick his position.
