Antonio Conte would have been a “brilliant” appointment for Manchester United, Paul Parker has told GOAL, with the Red Devils’ board being blamed for overlooking a no-nonsense tactician that they “couldn’t deal with”. Having opted against moving for one former Chelsea and Tottenham boss, another is on his way into Old Trafford - with Mauricio Pochettino preparing to take the reins.

Bruno Fernandes has sent a message to Michael Carrick following the manager's dismissal from Manchester United. Despite a public disagreement over the team's tactical direction in recent weeks, the club captain led the tributes as the Red Devils begin their search for a new permanent head coach to lead the first team.

Mauricio Pochettino has been given a “mob” warning and “deadwood” transfer advice ahead of taking over as Manchester United manager, with Paul Parker explaining to GOAL when the Argentine tactician will be judged. The former Chelsea and Tottenham boss is set to take in two more games as head coach of the USMNT before picking up reins at Old Trafford that have been prised from the hands of Michael Carrick.

Jamie Carragher has offered a scathing assessment of Michael Carrick’s tenure at Manchester United, insisting he feels no sympathy for the recently dismissed coach. The Red Devils confirmed Carrick's departure on Thursday after a dismal run of form left the club languishing in the Premier League relegation zone.
