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.

Pochettino, with extensive Premier League experience, is seen as a good fit for United, having previously managed Southampton, Tottenham, and Chelsea.",
