The inside story of Manchester United’s move for Mauricio Pochettino
Manchester United's pursuit of Mauricio Pochettino was a straightforward decision, as he stood alone among potential candidates after Aston Villa's Unai Emery was deemed out of reach. United had previously considered Pochettino in 2022, but ultimately decided against it. The Spaniard's recent resurgence with the U.S. national team, including a run to the round of 16 at the 2022 World Cup, made him a prime candidate once again.
The move was finalized on Thursday, with Pochettino set to take over from Michael Carrick, who was fired earlier that day.
