Manchester United co-owners INEOS sack manager after just five months in charge amid growing pressure on Michael Carrick

Manchester United minority owners INEOS have sanctioned a managerial dismissal at FC Lausanne-Sport while debate intensifies over the future of Old Trafford boss Michael Carrick. Sir Jim Ratcliffe's chemical group parted ways with head coach Luka Elsner on Tuesday after just five months in charge of the struggling Swiss outfit. Lausanne-Sport confirmed the exit of 44-year-old tactician Elsner on Tuesday after a dismal start left them rooted to the bottom of the Swiss Super League table. Appointed on June 1, the manager suffered eight losses across his opening 12 league fixtures while also overseeing two domestic cup ties.
