Michael Carrick is officially gone from Manchester United. The club finally parted ways with their coach today, November 12, 2026, after what felt like *months* of rumors swirling about his future at Old Trafford.

The Rumors Are Finally Over

Yeah, the talk has been non-stop, right? Bleacher Report was all over it, screaming ‘Man Utd Fires Carrick’ just hours ago. This wasn’t some snap decision, either. The whispers, the leaks, the straight-up *rumors* about Carrick’s exit have been hanging over the club for what feels like an entire season.

Pochettino’s Name Is Already in the Air

But hey, when one door closes, a huge name is already reportedly waiting to burst through another. The word on the street is USMNT head coach Mauricio Pochettino is straight-up ‘waiting in the wings’ for the Man Utd job. This isn’t just fan speculation, Bleacher Report is already breaking down the ‘Pochettino to Man Utd Winners/Losers’ scenario. And if Pochettino leaves the USMNT? You know that means a whole new scramble, because ‘USMNT Poch Replacements’ is already a hot topic.

So, Carrick’s out, and the gears are already turning on who steps into one of the biggest jobs in World Football. Man Utd fans have been through a lot this year, and this move, after all the chatter, sets up a fascinating chapter for the club. Keep those eyes peeled for what happens next!
