Manchester United Close to Pochettino Deal Amid Carrick's Work Return
Manchester United are reportedly nearing a contract agreement with Mauricio Pochettino to become the club's next head coach, according to Sky Sports.
The move would be made if the current manager, Michael Carrick, decides to step down from his role. Carrick is set to report for work as usual, indicating that his status at the club remains unchanged for now.
If a deal with Pochettino is finalized, it would represent a significant shift in United's coaching lineup.
Mauricio Pochettino is currently without a team after leaving Tottenham Hotspur in 2021. The Argentine manager has a proven track record of success, having led Spurs to four top-four finishes in the Premier League during his tenure.
Manchester United will likely look to secure a coach with a similar background and tactical style to Pochettino, given his experience with La Liga side Espanyol and his time at Southampton in the Premier League.
Meanwhile, Michael Carrick has been a key figure in the United setup, serving as both player and assistant manager under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Bruno Fernandes.
While the club remains tight-lipped on the matter, Pochettino's appointment could have a significant impact on Manchester United's future prospects.
