Quick Summary

Mauricio Pochettino is reportedly the frontrunner to become the new manager of Manchester United following Michael Carrick's anticipated departure, with talks expected before their upcoming match against Liverpool. In a previous interview with L’Equipe, Pochettino expressed his desire to return to managing in England due to its competitive football culture. However, Pochettino recently signed a contract extension with the U.S. national team until 2030, complicating any immediate move back into club management.

Story summary

As of November 10, 2026, Michael Carrick is expected to be relieved of his duties as manager of Manchester United due to the team's poor performance in the Premier League. Mauricio Pochettino, currently the head coach of the US Men’s National Team, has emerged as the top candidate to replace Carrick, with discussions ongoing at Manchester United about bringing him on board before their crucial match against Liverpool on November 22. Despite signing a contract extension with the USA through the 2030 World Cup, Pochettino reportedly would be open to taking the Manchester United job if approached by the club's leadership, including co-chairman Joel Glazer and CEO Omar Berrada. The Athletic reports that there is a buyout clause in Pochettino’s USA contract that could facilitate his move back to club management.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
