Story summary

As of November 11, 2026, Manchester United are close to finalizing a deal with Mauricio Pochettino to become their new head coach. Carrick is expected to be dismissed shortly after discussions at a meeting in Monaco involving club executives Jason Wilcox and Omar Berrada. Reports indicate that United spent Tuesday discussing personal terms with Pochettino’s representatives, with no major obstacles anticipated. Previously, the team was linked with other managers like Antonio Conte but now sees Pochettino as their top choice. Carrick has been in charge since November 2026 due to previous managerial departures, leading United through a poor start in the Premier League relegation zone.

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.
