Reports Claim Pochettino Would Accept Manchester United Job

Mauricio Pochettino is reported to be emerging as a frontrunner in Manchester United's search for a head coach. The report says the Argentine coach is willing to accept the role. Pochettino is currently in charge of the United States men's national team and took the host nation as far as the quarter-finals of the 2026 World Cup.

United are reported to be in the bottom three of the Premier League, and Michael Carrick is expected to be dismissed. David Ornstein of The Athletic wrote that United are preparing to remove Carrick despite a recent rise in form. The team have picked up four points from their last two matches. They came from two goals down against Roma in the Champions League and against Aston Villa in the Premier League, but fought back to earn a point in both games.

According to TEAMtalk, Pochettino would welcome the opportunity to return to club football. The same report says there is currently no direct contact between United and Pochettino or his representatives.
