Quick Summary

Manchester United is seeking to appoint Mauricio Pochettino as their new manager following the dismissal of the previous coach after a run of one win in 11 games. The club is reportedly prepared to trigger a £7 million clause in Pochettino's contract with US Soccer to bring him to Old Trafford by a deadline of November 19. The report highlights that United is relaxed about whether Pochettino manages two upcoming international matches against Panama, as they expect him to lead the team for their first post-break fixture against Liverpool.
