Man Utd open talks with Pochettino about replacing Carrick

Manchester United is in the process of discussing the potential appointment of Mauricio Pochettino as their new head coach, with the aim of replacing Michael Carrick, who is set to leave the club this week. The discussions are taking place at a meeting in Monaco, where United's chief executive Omar Berrada, director of football Jason Wilcox, and co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe will be present.

Pochettino, the former head coach of Southampton, Tottenham, Chelsea and the USA national team, has a $10 million release clause. United has previously spoken to Pochettino about their managerial position on three previous occasions. The current Premier League table shows United in 18th place, having accumulated only one win out of their first 10 games this season.
