Manchester United Near Agreement to Appoint Mauricio Pochettino Pending Carrick's Future
Manchester United is reportedly close to appointing Mauricio Pochettino as their new manager, pending a decision on Michael Carrick's future. The club is facing its worst Premier League start in 40 years, currently sitting 18th with one win in 10 matches. Pochettino, who recently extended his contract with the US men's national team until 2030, would require a release fee estimated around £7-10 million. A meeting involving club executives and owner Jim Ratcliffe is expected to finalize Carrick's position and Pochettino's potential appointment.
