Michael Carrick has been sacked as Manchester United manager following a disastrous start to the season, with Mauricio Pochettino set to take the reins.
Steven Railston and Tyrone Marshall react to the breaking news, breaking down the chaotic and "humiliating" way the INEOS board handled Carrick’s exit.
We discuss the turning point of the season, the staggering £50m spent on hiring and firing under Sir Jim Ratcliffe, and why executives like Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox are facing severe criticism from the fanbase.
Finally, we analyse what Pochettino brings to Old Trafford, his recent managerial record, and whether his high-pressing system is the right tactical fit for this struggling United squad.
