The Manchester United Supporters' Trust criticised the club's owners after manager Michael Carrick was sacked, calling for accountability over the team's problems and supporter relations. United are 18th with eight points after 10 league games.
The Manchester United Supporters' Trust criticised the club's ownership after Michael Carrick was dismissed on Thursday, calling on those in charge to take responsibility for the team's problems. The trust said discontent was not limited to matters on the pitch and pointed to ticketing policies, higher charges and diminished supporter rights.
United appointed Carrick on an interim basis after Ruben Amorim was sacked in January, then gave him a contract until 2028 after the team's fortunes improved. Carrick was dismissed after one league win this season, with United 18th on eight points after 10 games. In July, the club unveiled the proposed location of a new 100,000-capacity stadium beside Old Trafford; it said the project could create 15,000 homes and contribute more than £7 billion a year to the British economy.
The Glazer family retains a majority stake in the club. Carrick is the seventh permanent manager sacked since Alex Ferguson retired in 2013 and the third since minority owner Jim Ratcliffe joined in 2024. British media have reported that U.S. national team manager Mauricio Pochettino is likely to take over.
