Manchester United sack head coach Michael Carrick

Manchester United have sacked head coach Michael Carrick. The decision comes after a disappointing run of form that has left the club languishing in the bottom half of the Premier League table. Carrick, who took charge of the team earlier this year, has been unable to turn around the club's fortunes. The club's board released a statement thanking Carrick for his efforts but stated that a change was necessary to move the club forward. It is understood that the search for a new head coach is already underway.
