Man Utd open talks with Pochettino about replacing Carrick
- Manchester United are nearing a deal to appoint USMNT head coach Mauricio Pochettino as their new manager before the November 22 match against Liverpool, with the club planning to dismiss Michael Carrick during the international break.
- Following the club's worst start in 40 years, Carrick faces intense scrutiny as United sit 18th in the Premier League with only eight points from 10 matches. The board is using the international break to evaluate whether a managerial change is necessary.
- Securing Pochettino would require Manchester United to trigger a $10 million release clause in his USMNT contract, with additional costs for his coaching staff. Former Newcastle boss Eddie Howe remains an alternative candidate on the club's shortlist.
- On Wednesday, club co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, CEO Omar Berrada, and director of football Jason Wilcox met in Monaco to finalize the decision. United aims to have a new manager installed before traveling to Liverpool on November 22.
- Negotiations with U.S. Soccer continue as the federation expects Pochettino to manage upcoming Concacaf Nations League fixtures against Haiti on November 14 and 18. Former Germany head coach Julian Nagelsmann remains on the club's shortlist should discussions stall.
