Pochettino could take McKennie to Manchester United

The USA National Team beat Haiti 6-0 in the first leg of the CONCACAF Nations League quarter-final. Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie scored in the match, while Christian Pulisic stood out with two goals.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Mauricio Pochettino, newly appointed as Manchester United's head coach, could consider taking McKennie to the club with him while his role with the USA National Team continues. McKennie is a player Pochettino trusts and regularly picks from his work in the United States. McKennie, who has made 241 appearances for Juventus, is the most capped player in the current squad. The club has also signed the player to a new contract running until the summer of 2030.

Juventus head coach Luciano Spalletti reportedly values McKennie highly and does not want to let him go under ideal circumstances. However, CEO Giovanni Carnevali has repeatedly said that no player is untouchable, so attractive offers could be considered. At Juventus, Khephren Thuram and Manuel Locatelli are dealing with injuries, and Spalletti often plays McKennie further forward.

La Gazzetta writes that Juventus would need a 'monstrous' offer to sell the player, especially in the January transfer window. The same newspaper describes the story as 'a development to follow'.
