Confirmed: Mauricio Pochettino agrees to replace Carrick at Man Utd

United have reached an agreement with the United States Soccer Federation to release the Argentine and his coaching staff following the conclusion of their responsibilities with the United States men's national team.

Pochettino faces a major challenge at Old Trafford, with United currently sitting 18th in the 2026-27 Premier League table and inside the relegation zone.

They have collected just eight points from their opening 10 matches, recording one win, five draws and four defeats. Their goal difference stands at minus five.

The former Tottenham Hotspur manager is highly regarded for his attacking approach, high-intensity football and ability to develop players while building competitive teams.

The 54-year-old began his managerial career at Espanyol in 2009 before moving to Southampton, where he guided the club to a record Premier League points tally in 2014.

He subsequently spent five full seasons at Tottenham, establishing the north London club as regular Champions League contenders. Spurs qualified for the competition in four consecutive seasons and reached the final in 2019, losing to Liverpool.

Pochettino moved to Paris Saint-Germain in 2021, winning the Ligue 1 title, Coupe de France and Trophee des Champions before returning to England with Chelsea in 2023.

His most recent assignment was with the United States national team, whom he led to the Round of 16 at the FIFA World Cup.
