Quick Summary

The USA national team released footage of a training session led by manager Mauricio Pochettino ahead of their CONCACAF Nations League match against Haiti. Reports suggest Manchester United are in advanced talks with Pochettino’s representatives, but any move would require compensating US Soccer around $10 million (£7.4 million). During the training session, Pochettino addressed his team before a media-filled practice session, and he is scheduled to hold a press conference on Friday where he will likely face questions about his rumored departure for Manchester United.

Story summary

Mauricio Pochettino, the current manager of the US national soccer team, released training footage via X, formerly Twitter, as speculation continues over his potential move to Manchester United. Despite reports that United have discussed personal terms with Pochettino’s representatives and expect a final agreement soon, they have not yet approached US Soccer regarding compensation for terminating Pochettino's contract early. US Soccer would be entitled to around $10m (£7.4m) in compensation through an exit clause if Pochettino leaves before his contract ends. On Wednesday, Pochettino continued with regular team activities and is scheduled to hold a press conference on Friday where he will likely face questions about his future.

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.

If appointed, Pochettino would replace Michael Carrick, who remains in post but is expected to be relieved of his duties following a meeting of the United hierarchy that was due to take place in Monaco on Wednesday.
However, it should be noted that United have yet to approach US Soccer, who would be entitled to around $10m (£7.4m) in compensation through an exit clause in the Argentine’s contract as manager of the national team.
The former Tottenham and Chelsea boss is now the favourite among bookmakers for the job amid reports Man Utd chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox will recommend a managerial change during a scheduled meeting with the Glazer family and minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
“Maybe three or four senior players will be in and around [the training ground], but we’ll certainly train next week and maybe have the weekend off.
In 2028, Man United will celebrate its 150th anniversary and Berrada has previously gone on record stating the plan to mark the landmark achievement is by winning both the men's and women's league titles.
As such work will now begin at the club’s Carrington training ground to appoint a new manager before the Liverpool clash on November 22 and Pochettino has emerged as the new front-runner with the bookmakers.
When will Manchester United sack Michael Carrick?
The Argentine, who managed both Tottenham and Chelsea in the Premier League, has emerged as the new favourite to replace Michael Carrick - who is reportedly expected to be relieved of his duties as Man Utd head coach.
