Man United close in on Pochettino as Carrick exit nears
What's next: United are waiting to formalize Michael Carrick's dismissal, while Pochettino's move would also disrupt the US men's national team.
Manchester United are moving toward appointing Mauricio Pochettino as manager as Michael Carrick's dismissal edges closer, according to multiple reports. BBC Sport said Carrick is expected to leave after a meeting in Monaco, while Sky Sports reported United are close to agreeing a deal for Pochettino if they complete the change. The appointment would cap a pursuit that has resurfaced repeatedly since 2016, when Pochettino was first linked with Old Trafford during his Tottenham tenure. Pochettino, now coaching the United States men's national team, has also managed Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea. His potential exit would leave US Soccer scrambling during an international window.
