Michael Carrick has been relieved of his managerial duties at Manchester United, following much speculation regarding his future, with ex-Red Devils star Paul Parker explaining to GOAL why his fellow title winner struggled to turn the Premier League giants around.

Rio Ferdinand has hit out at the Manchester United hierarchy, comparing the club's official announcement of Michael Carrick’s sacking to a cold, AI-generated message. The former Red Devils defender expressed his frustration after the club confirmed the departure of his former team-mate via a brief written statement without any public comments from senior officials.
