Man Utd ‘reach verbal agreement’ with Pochettino to replace Carrick
US Soccer would be due compensation should head coach Mauricio Pochettino move to Old Trafford, with a reported US$10 million release clause.
Manchester United reportedly entered a verbal agreement with Mauricio Pochettino on Wednesday to replace Michael Carrick as their new manager, aiming to lift the troubled club out of the relegation zone. Pochettino, known for his Premier League experience, has managed Southampton, Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea, and PSG. Carrick's future was discussed at a meeting involving influential shareholder Jim Ratcliffe, CEO Omar Berrada, and director of football Jason Wilcox in Monaco.
US Soccer players' media event was canceled to avoid questions about Pochettino's potential exit. Pochettino is set to address the media on Friday ahead of a Concacaf Nations League match. Harry Kane praised Pochettino's management skills. Carrick's tenure saw United struggle, finishing 18th in their first 10 games, and failing to win the Premier League since Alex Ferguson's final season in 2012/13.
