United States national team head coach Mauricio Pochettino is set to become the new manager of Manchester United, following the sacking of long-serving manager Michael Carrick. The Argentine coach is expected to leave his role with the USA after their quarter-final matches in the CONCACAF Nations League. United have agreed to a US$10 million release clause to secure Pochettino's services.
Carrick, who led United to a third-place finish in the Premier League last season, has struggled to maintain discipline, dropping captain Bruno Fernandes and sparking controversy with defender Lisandro Martínez. The club confirmed Carrick's dismissal, citing their need to achieve their ambitions. Pochettino, with extensive Premier League experience, is seen as a good fit for United, having previously managed Southampton, Tottenham, and Chelsea.
