Quick Summary

Mauricio Pochettino, head coach of the US men’s soccer team, is reportedly being considered for the position of Manchester United manager after Michael Carrick's tenure ends due to poor performance this season. Sources cited by ESPN indicate that talks are ongoing and that a $10 million release clause in Pochettino’s contract with U.S. Soccer would need to be paid if he were to join Manchester United.

Story summary

As of November 10, Mauricio Pochettino is the frontrunner to become the new manager of Manchester United, with the club's current interim boss Michael Carrick expected to be relieved of his duties. Manchester United has been in the relegation zone for the entire month of November and only won one game out of their first ten Premier League matches this season. Pochettino, who recently signed a contract extension with the U.S. men's national team until 2030, has already confirmed that he is aware of Manchester United’s interest in him, though any potential move would depend on his current contractual obligations and a clause in his deal that could facilitate discussions with clubs like Man United if approached. The decision regarding Carrick’s dismissal might be delayed until Thursday, but it is widely anticipated that Pochettino will replace him ahead of the crucial match against Liverpool at Anfield on November 22.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
