Pochettino is the favourite to replace sacked Carrick at Old Trafford; Man Utd can trigger a $10m buyout clause in his USMNT contract.
Manchester United have decided to sack Michael Carrick with the club in the Premier League relegation zone. Mauricio Pochettino, the former Tottenham and Chelsea manager, is the frontrunner for the Old Trafford job.
Pochettino has been managing the USA national team since the 2022 World Cup and signed a new contract in August to guide them through to 2030. However, he is open to returning to the Premier League. According to The Athletic, Manchester United can trigger a $10 million (£7.44m) buyout clause in Pochettino's USMNT contract to bring him to England. The clause does not cover his coaching staff, including assistant Jesus Perez.
Pochettino is currently with the USMNT squad in North Carolina ahead of Concacaf Nations League quarter-final matches against Haiti.
