Manchester United made the decision to sack their manager, Michael Carrick, because they believe the squad is far stronger than the team’s current league position.
This is according to the Manchester Evening News, as disclosed on Thursday.
Carrick was on the verge of being sacked after defeats against Como and Bournemouth two weeks ago.
But the Red Devils’ hierarchy decided to give him three more games to improve the team’s form.
In the end, it proved insufficient to spare Carrick from dismissal, said the source.
Man United currently sits in the relegation zone after they drew 4-4 with Aston Villa in their last match.
