USA confirm cancellation as Mauricio Pochettino agrees to become Manchester United manager
Summarised by MatchPal
USMNT cancels media day as Pochettino nears Manchester United appointment; verbal agreement reported with personal terms being finalized.
The United States have cancelled their scheduled media access day on Wednesday, a move linked to reports of Mauricio Pochettino's imminent appointment as Manchester United manager. According to The Athletic, Pochettino's representatives discussed personal terms with United on Tuesday, with no major obstacles expected and a final agreement anticipated.
Manchester United sit in the Premier League relegation zone following their worst start to a season since 1986, and Pochettino is understood to be interested in the Old Trafford post. A buyout clause worth $10 million (£7.44m) in his USMNT contract can be triggered by United.
Pochettino is scheduled to address reporters on Friday ahead of the USMNT's CONCACAF Nations League quarter-final first leg against Haiti. If appointed within days, his first match in charge would be against Liverpool at Anfield a week on Sunday.
