Michael Carrick’s next destination as Man Utd to sack boss – Celtic, Newcastle and Sunderland touted

Manchester United leadership is reportedly preparing to sack manager Michael Carrick following a difficult start to the Premier League season that has left the club in 18th place. Carrick has led the team to just one league victory, marking their worst domestic start in 40 years. Former Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino is reportedly among the frontrunners to replace him at Old Trafford.

Bookmakers have listed Celtic as the 12/1 favorites for Carrick's next managerial destination, ahead of Crystal Palace and potential MLS clubs. With Celtic manager Martin O'Neill anticipated to leave next summer, Carrick has been discussed alongside Kieran McKenna and Robbie Keane as potential future candidates.
