Manchester United head coach option: Pochettino in the frame
Manchester United's November international break is seen as a suitable window for a head coach change. However, reports suggest the club does not appear set to take that opportunity.
The November international break is the most suitable period for a mid-season head coach change. Manchester United will not play until November 22, giving the Old Trafford hierarchy an uninterrupted two-week spell. This time could be used to bring in new ideas and correct the alarming start to the season.
On the pitch, the need for change is clear. Only one Premier League win has come in 10 matches under Michael Carrick, and the team sits in the bottom three. The side looks passive and its confidence has been shaken. Despite two unexpected comebacks at Old Trafford within a week, the trend remains negative.
According to a report by TalkSPORT, Mauricio Pochettino is open to the possibility of taking over at Old Trafford. The former Tottenham and Chelsea head coach has been among the names the club has considered for around a decade.
The obstacle, however, is Pochettino's contract with the United States national team. The source states that Pochettino has committed to extending his deal with the USA, the host nation of the 2026 World Cup, in the near future. Under these circumstances, Manchester United appear set to continue with Carrick, and money is suggested to be the main reason.
