United States men's national team head coach Mauricio Pochettino has emerged as a leading candidate to become the next manager of Manchester United, according to reports. The speculation comes as current assistant manager Michael Carrick is reportedly nearing his departure from the club.
Pochettino, who previously managed Tottenham Hotspur, Paris Saint-Germain, and Chelsea, took charge of the USMNT in 2024. His potential move to Old Trafford would mark a return to the Premier League.
Manchester United have not officially commented on the managerial situation. Carrick, a former United midfielder, has been part of the coaching staff since 2021.
