Lewis Hamilton influence on Man Utd emerges as Michael Carrick finally sacked
Michael Carrick has been sacked as Manchester United head coach after less than a year in charge. The Old Trafford club turned to their former midfielder to take over on an interim basis in January, when Ruben Amorim was axed. He managed to get the Red Devils firing and guided them to third place in the Premier League, winning the club a place in the Champions League this season. But only one league win in 10 to start this campaign has left United in the relegation zone and the club has now officially relieved Carrick of his duties.
