Man United are reported to be moving towards sacking Michael Carrick, with Pochettino named as an option
Reports from the BBC, The Athletic and The Guardian say no final decision has been made, with the club in the relegation zone.
Manchester United are reported to be moving towards sacking head coach Michael Carrick, although the club has not announced a decision.
BBC Sport reported late on Monday that United look increasingly likely to make a change. The Athletic says director of football Jason Wilcox is leading a review after Carrick was given the Chelsea, Roma and Aston Villa games to turn results around, and The Guardian says the club is refusing to rush while it sits in the relegation zone.
The False 9 reports that the board backed Carrick after the 3-0 home defeat by Bournemouth on October 25 and planned to reassess him during the international break. Chief executive Omar Berrada and Wilcox are expected to make a recommendation to minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
Mauricio Pochettino, the United States head coach, is expected to figure highly among the candidates and would consider the job if Carrick leaves, according to Sky Sports' summary of the press. Eddie Howe and Julian Nagelsmann are also reported to have admirers at the club.
These are press reports and United has not confirmed any of the details.
