Chaos at Manchester United! Two players make shocking move after Carrick's departure
Michael Carrick's departure has reportedly sparked an unexpected reaction inside Manchester United's dressing room.
Details: According to insider indykaila, two Manchester United players left the squad's WhatsApp group immediately after learning that Michael Carrick was leaving the club. The source did not reveal the identities of the footballers involved or explain the reasons behind their unusual decision.
The incident reportedly occurred amid major changes at Old Trafford. On November 12, Fabrizio Romano reported that Carrick had been dismissed as Manchester United head coach with immediate effect. The decision followed discussions between the club's senior management and co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
It remains unclear whether the two players' actions were intended as a protest against Carrick's departure or were motivated by other reasons. There has been no independent confirmation of the WhatsApp incident, and neither footballer's identity has been disclosed.
The managerial change comes after a disastrous start to the Premier League season. Manchester United have collected just eight points from their opening ten league matches, recording only one victory and dropping into 18th place in the standings.
It's worth noting that Carrick initially took charge of Manchester United on an interim basis in January 2026 before signing a permanent contract until 2028 in May. Under his leadership, the Red Devils finished third in the Premier League last season.
