Gary Neville slams Man Utd's 'disgusting' Carrick sacking as Pochettino waits
Gary Neville has branded Manchester United's treatment of Michael Carrick "disgusting" after the club legend was sacked as head coach on Thursday with Mauricio Pochettino already lined up as replacement. On Sky Sports News, Neville tore into the timing—United executives were in Monaco while Carrick took training, and the club was simultaneously negotiating with the US Soccer Federation for Pochettino.
The 43-year-old former defender had been in interim charge since Ruben Amorim's departure last month. Neville said the conduct "falls well below the standard of what you would expect in any other business, in any other industry" and called the situation "quite simply unpleasant."
Pochettino, currently US men's national team coach, is expected to be confirmed within days. This marks United's third managerial change in under a year, raising serious questions about the club's long-term strategy and respect for club legends.
For Nigerian fans who follow the Premier League religiously, this instability at one of England's biggest clubs continues a worrying trend. The Glazers' ownership model remains under scrutiny.
Will Pochettino finally bring stability, or is this just another expensive reset for a club that has forgotten how to build?
