Quick Summary

Manchester United is reportedly set to hire Mauricio Pochettino as their new manager, after sacking Michael Carrick. The Athletic reports that United will pay Pochettino’s $10 million (£7.4m) buyout clause to release him from his contract with the United States national team. Pochettino, 54, is expected to sign a contract until 2029, though he will remain with the United States team for their upcoming matches before joining Manchester United for their Premier League match against Liverpool on November 22. Manchester United currently sit 18th in the league table, having won only one of their first ten matches this season.
