Manchester United have fired their head coach. After 10 games the club is in the relegation zone in the Premier League.

Manchester United announced the resignation of head coach Michael Carrick.

The resignation took place against the background of the team's unsatisfactory results - after 10 rounds in the Premier League, Manchester United has accumulated only eight points and is now in 18th place, at the relegation point.

The club promised to appoint a new coach "as soon as possible". According to special reports in the media, Carrick's successor may be the current head coach of the US national team, Mauricio Pochettino.

The 45-year-old Carrick took charge of Manchester United midway through last season. At that time the team was in seventh place, but eventually finished in third place and qualified for the Champions League for the first time in three years.
