Manchester United have dismissed manager Michael Carrick after a prolonged winless run in the Premier League culminated in a 4-4 draw at home to Aston Villa over the weekend, leaving the club mired in the relegation zone.

The club have won only three of their 15 matches in all competitions under Carrick this season - including just one league victory - leaving them 18th in the table on eight points after 10 games, one point from the bottom.

The Red Devils are currently in advanced talks with USA national team coach Mauricio Pochettino, with the Argentine expected to sign a contract at Old Trafford in the coming days.
