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. The odd question has been asked of whether Carrick was the right kind of personality for such a demanding role.

The Argentine Mauricio Pochettino, head coach of the United States national team, has become very close to leading Manchester United's rebuilding process at Old Trafford, as successor to Michael Carrick.
