Manchester United close on Pochettino deal before settling Carrick fate

Talks proceed in Monaco

United CEO Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox will meet minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe on Wednesday. The summit aims to review the club's disastrous start to the Premier League season. Sources indicate that discussions regarding a managerial change are ongoing over the coming days. Carrick reported for training on Tuesday while his future hangs in the balance.

Pochettino release clause details

The club would have to pay around 7 million pounds to buy Pochettino out of his USA contract. This figure is not thought to be an issue for the financial situation at Old Trafford. United has spoken to the former Argentina defender about the role on three previous occasions. He previously interviewed when Jose Mourinho was sacked in 2018 and again after Erik ten Hag left.

Carrick performance record drops

This season, the 45-year-old manager secured just a single victory in league matches against Ipswich. His team sits in 18th place with just one point off the bottom of the table. High-ranking officials are stunned by the decline in outcomes and achievements compared to last month. Manchester United will play Liverpool at Anfield on November 22 as their next fixture.
