Manchester United’s coaching overhaul has continued following Michael Carrick’s dismissal, with a sixth member of the club’s first-team setup now having departed Old Trafford.

Thursday has already seen sweeping changes at Carrington after United finally brought Carrick’s brief spell as permanent head coach to an end.

The former midfielder was dismissed following a disastrous start to the 2026/27 campaign, which has left United sitting 18th in the Premier League after winning just one of their opening ten league matches.

Michael Carrick had only been handed the permanent position in May after guiding the club to third place last season and securing Champions League qualification.

However, the club’s hierarchy decided a change was necessary, with Mauricio Pochettino now expected to become United’s next manager after reaching an agreement in principle with the club.

Carrick’s departure has also triggered a significant restructuring of the coaching staff he assembled during his time in charge.

BBC Sport journalist Simon Stone subsequently confirmed that Travis Binnion had also departed, bringing the number of exits to five, including Carrick himself.

However, the changes have not stopped there.

Stone has now confirmed that a sixth first-team coach has departed from Old Trafford on Thursday.

Writing on X, the BBC journalist stated Manchester United goalkeeping coach Craig Mawson has also left the club.

Mawson had been one of the longest-serving members of United’s coaching staff, having joined the club from Burnley in December 2019 during Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s time as manager.

He initially arrived as assistant first-team goalkeeping coach, working alongside Richard Hartis after spending almost a decade developing goalkeepers at Burnley.

During his time at Turf Moor, Mawson progressed through the club’s academy setup before eventually working with the first team.

He subsequently remained at Manchester United through several managerial changes, working under Solskjaer, Ralf Rangnick, Erik ten Hag, Ruben Amorim and Carrick.

Mawson was retained as part of Carrick’s permanent coaching setup earlier this year and had been serving as United’s lead first-team goalkeeping coach.

It is currently unclear whether Craig Mawson has been dismissed by Manchester United or whether he has decided to leave voluntarily following Carrick’s departure.

Simon Stone’s report confirms his exit but does not specify the circumstances surrounding the decision.

With six members of the first-team coaching setup now gone, United are preparing for a substantial rebuild behind the scenes as they work towards appointing Mauricio Pochettino.

The Argentine is expected to bring members of his own backroom staff to Old Trafford, potentially resulting in further changes before United return to Premier League action against Liverpool at Anfield.

Goalkeeping coach Craig Mawson has also left.
