Poch open to Man Utd talks with Carrick’s position increasingly in doubt

Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick's future at the club is increasingly in doubt following an eight-match winless streak in the Premier League. The club hierarchy, led by director of football Jason Wilcox, is conducting a full performance review during the international break. Meanwhile, current USA head coach Mauricio Pochettino is reportedly open to discussions if approached by United, with a potential contract buyout estimated at around £7m.

United have not yet made a final decision on Carrick and aim to avoid appointing an interim manager if a change is made. The hierarchy is taking time due to continued fan support for Carrick, belief that players are still backing the staff, and uncertainty over whether replacing the head coach will immediately resolve the squad's issues.
