As of November 10, Mauricio Pochettino is the frontrunner to become the new manager of Manchester United, with the club's current interim boss Michael Carrick expected to be relieved of his duties. Manchester United has been in the relegation zone for the entire month of November and only won one game out of their first ten Premier League matches this season. Pochettino, who recently signed a contract extension with the U.S. men's national team until 2030, has already confirmed that he is aware of Manchester United’s interest in him, though any potential move would depend on his current contractual obligations and a clause in his deal that could facilitate discussions with clubs like Man United if approached. The decision regarding Carrick’s dismissal might be delayed until Thursday, but it is widely anticipated that Pochettino will replace him ahead of the crucial match against Liverpool at Anfield on November 22.
