  "account": "Manchester United is reportedly close to agreeing a deal with former USMNT head coach Mauricio Pochettino, should they decide to replace current manager Michael Carrick, according to multiple sources. The Athletic has reported that the club is set to move on from Carrick, as they remain in the relegation zone in the Premier League standings.\n\nNegotiations for Pochettino's contract are ongoing, though the club has not yet engaged with U.S. Soccer. To release Pochettino, United would need to activate a $10 million exit clause. Despite his $10 million exit clause, Pochettino, who is currently under contract with the USMNT until the 2030 World Cup, has shown interest in returning to club football.\n\nPochettino is not new to the managerial role in the Premier League, having previously managed Southampton, Tottenham Hotspur, and Chelsea. His extensive experience in the league makes him a highly sought-after candidate. This potential appointment comes as the international break commences, with the USMNT preparing for two crucial matches in the Concacaf Nations League quarterfinals against Haiti on November 14.",
