Michael Carrick has reportedly been dismissed as Manchester United manager with immediate effect, according to renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano.
The development follows a poor run of results that has left the Premier League club in the relegation zone after winning just one of their opening 10 league matches.
The club, however, had yet to issue an official statement confirming his departure at the time of the report.
Meanwhile, Manchester United have reportedly reached an agreement in principle with Mauricio Pochettino to take over as head coach should Carrick be dismissed.
