Pochettino expected to lead US in Nations League games before Manchester United move

Pochettino will manage USMNT through Nations League quarter-finals against Haiti before joining Manchester United, where he has agreed a framework deal.

Mauricio Pochettino will lead the US men's national team through the remainder of the current international window, including Nations League quarter-final matches against Haiti on Saturday and Tuesday in Miami and Cincinnati respectively, before taking over at Manchester United.

Pochettino has agreed a framework deal with United to replace Michael Carrick, who was sacked on Thursday. United will pay a £7.5m buyout clause for Pochettino's services, with additional millions required to bring his longtime assistant coaching staff. The Argentine has been training the USMNT at the federation's headquarters outside Atlanta and is scheduled to address the press on Friday morning.

US players have acknowledged the uncertainty surrounding their manager's future. Folarin Balogun told reporters "If I had a vote, I'd like to keep things the way they are," while Fulham defender Antonee Robinson said the squad is focused on the upcoming matches regardless of the situation.
