Michael Carrick waves to reporters as his vehicle leaves Carrington. Sky Sports News's coverage gives a visible ending to the uncertainty surrounding Manchester United's head coach, then turns to the practical question of when his intended replacement can start.

Reporter Peter Stevenson says Carrick arrived at the training ground early in the morning and departed a few hours later after his dismissal was confirmed. The report also says assistants Jonny Evans and Jonathan Woodgate are expected to leave.

The announcement has drawn about 419,000 views since yesterday. United are in the relegation zone after a solitary league win, according to Sky, less than six months after Carrick signed a new contract. A studio graphic sets his successful opening spell against the much poorer results that followed this season.

As we reported here, Sky's earlier discussion questioned who was running United as the Pochettino deal took shape. This report moves from that uncertainty to Carrick's confirmed departure. In a subsequent update, Sky says United and Mauricio Pochettino have reached a full agreement in principle, with talks involving US Soccer at the paperwork and regulatory stage.

That does not mean an immediate arrival. Sky expects Pochettino to lead the USA against Haiti before taking charge of United's first match after the international break, against Liverpool.

The studio discussion asks what must change beyond the name on the office door: analyst Charlie argues that Pochettino needs trust and control. Viewers are raising a similar question, with comments focusing on whether repeated managerial changes address the decisions made above them.
