  "account": "Manchester United finds itself on the brink of sacking manager Michael Carrick as the club's USMNT boss Mauricio Pochettino emerges as a likely replacement. United's recent poor performance in the Premier League, coupled with their early exit from the Carabao Cup and disappointing Champions League run, has led to the club considering drastic action. The club's co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, CEO Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox seem to have agreed on Pochettino as Carrick's successor. Pochettino, who led the US national team to the Round of 16 in the 2025 World Cup, is expected to demand a hefty compensation package from U.S. Soccer, estimated at around $10 million. United is believed to be in talks with Pochettino's representatives but has not yet reached out to U.S. Soccer to discuss the required compensation. The club's next match, against Liverpool at Anfield on November 22, is expected to be the first under any new manager, including Pochettino if confirmed.",
