Michael Carrick, the interim manager of Manchester United, is set to be relieved of his duties after leading the team to its worst start in four decades. The club finds itself at the bottom of the Premier League table, with only one victory in their first 10 matches, putting them at risk of relegation. A crisis meeting involving key executives like Omar Berrada, Jason Wilcox, and others is scheduled for Wednesday in Monaco to decide Carrick’s fate.
Mauricio Pochettino, currently the head coach of the US men's national team, has emerged as a frontrunner to replace Carrick. Reports suggest that United are interested in bringing him back to England, with multiple sources confirming mutual interest between Pochettino and the club. However, his contract contains an exit clause worth approximately $10 million (£7.5 million), which could impact negotiations.
Other potential replacements under consideration include former Newcastle boss Eddie Howe, ex-Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann, and former Tottenham and Chelsea coach Pochettino, each with their own Premier League credentials and managerial track records.
