Michael Carrick, the interim manager of Manchester United, is reportedly set to be fired due to the team's poor performance this season. Sitting in the relegation zone with just one win from 10 games played, Carrick faces significant pressure as Manchester United seeks a new head coach. Mauricio Pochettino has emerged as the frontrunner for the position despite his current role as the head coach of the US Men's National Team (USMNT). Pochettino reportedly confirmed that he is interested in leaving his USMNT job to manage Manchester United, with sources indicating there is a mutual interest between both parties.
United's hierarchy, including co-chairman Joel Glazer and CEO Omar Berrada, is now focused on hiring a new manager who can turn the club’s fortunes around. Pochettino's contract contains a release clause for about $10 million (£7.5 million), which could facilitate his move to Manchester United if both parties agree. The decision regarding Carrick’s dismissal may be delayed until Thursday, but with the team’s worst start in decades, it seems likely that changes will occur soon.
