Just in: Pochettino says yes to Man Utd as USMNT’s latest move almost confirm his departure
Mauricio Pochettino is seemingly on the cusp of joining Manchester United, as the USMNT’s latest move hints at an imminent exit.
The Red Devils are preparing to sack Michael Carrick after a catastrophic start to the campaign – their worst in 40 years.
The fallen Premier League giants are now 18th in the table after earning a single win in their first 10 league fixtures.
Mauricio Pochettino agrees to sign for Man Utd, offer to USMNT awaited
United may have displayed some signs of life in their last two dramatic outings against Roma and Aston Villa, but they deemed it too little too late to rescue Carrick.
The 45-year-old is expected to be sacked either on Wednesday or Thursday, as the club’s top brass has already selected his replacement.
The United officials chose Pochettino as the right man for the job, even if they have to pay a release clause worth $10 million to free him from his UMSNT contract (valid until July 2030).
According to Argentine journalist Gaston Edul, Pochettino has already agreed to become Man Utd’s new head coach. It’s now up to the EPL giants to make a formal offer to the American national team.
Moreover, Sky Sports News has reported that the USMNT has cancelled media access scheduled for Wednesday, suggesting that the 54-year-old’s departure is now imminent.
The next few hours should thus deliver official news, whether regarding Carrick’s sacking, or the appointment of Pochettino as his successor, at least if it all goes according to plan for Man Utd.
