Story summary

Mauricio Pochettino, the current manager of the US Men's National Team (USMNT), is expected to address his future with Manchester United this week, as the club considers a managerial change. Reports suggest that Omar Berrada, Manchester United’s chief executive, and Jason Wilcox, director of football, will recommend replacing interim manager Michael Carrick during a meeting with the Glazer family and minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe. Pochettino recently signed an extension through the 2030 World Cup but is now the favorite among bookmakers for the Manchester United job. The club has until Thursday to decide whether to trigger a £7m option in his contract, which would allow them to appoint him as their new manager.

When will Manchester United sack Michael Carrick?
The Argentine, who managed both Tottenham and Chelsea in the Premier League, has emerged as the new favourite to replace Michael Carrick - who is reportedly expected to be relieved of his duties as Man Utd head coach.
The Argentine, who managed both Tottenham and Chelsea in the Premier League, has emerged as the new favourite to replace Michael Carrick - who is reportedly expected to be relieved of his duties as Man Utd head coach.
However, the former United and England midfielder has been unable to keep the good times rolling and is now set to pay the ultimate price.
While the under-pressure manager ended a run of nine games without a win as Man United beat Roma in the Champions League last week and then rescued a point at home to Aston Villa - having twice trailed by two goals - those results will not be enough to keep Carrick in the job.
This is because Danks would not be expected to leave the Bundesliga champions mid-season, and has performed well in the absence of Vincent Kompany, who was taken to hospital last month fter collapsing during reserve-team training.
While the review will ask how the club - collectively - can quickly reverse their decline, the aforementioned report states there are three key reasons why United are not rushing a decision over the head coach position -
Only a win over Villa will be enough to ensure United do not spent the entirety of the November international break in the bottom three, though defeat to Unai Emery’s side will likely see calls for Carrick to be sacked grow even louder.
As such, should Bayern - who are said to currently view Kane as “untouchable” - agree to sell the striker before his new contract expires, Tottenham would have to decide whether to match the bid in order to give the striker a decision to make.
