Man Utd board held emergency meeting before sacking manager

Manchester United's board held an emergency meeting before sacking the manager after a poor start to the season. Michael Carrick is in charge for now, and the Mirror notes the parallels with previous United sackings. Fans have seen this pattern before at Old Trafford. The club has not set out what happens next or when a decision on Carrick will come. No timescale or replacement has been named.
