Mauricio Pochettino open to Manchester United move

Mauricio Pochettino is reportedly open to becoming the next manager of Manchester United amid growing pressure on current boss Michael Carrick. Intermediaries have explored the possibility with both sides, although United have not yet made an official approach. United officials are preparing to meet in Monaco to decide Carrick's future following a poor run of only one victory in 10 Premier League matches.

Pochettino currently coaches the United States national team under a contract through 2030, but his deal reportedly includes a release clause for European club opportunities. Manchester United leadership, led by director of football Jason Wilcox, is considering several alternatives, including Eddie Howe, Julian Nagelsmann, Antonio Conte, Unai Emery, and Cesc Fabregas.
