Manchester United are reportedly close to an agreement with Mauricio Pochettino to become the club's next permanent manager, should they decide to part ways with interim boss Michael Carrick, according to multiple reports on Wednesday.
The Argentine coach, who previously managed Tottenham Hotspur, Paris Saint-Germain, and Chelsea, has been linked with the Old Trafford hotseat for several months. Pochettino has been out of work since leaving Chelsea at the end of last season.
Carrick, a former United midfielder, took temporary charge following the departure of Erik ten Hag earlier this month. The 43-year-old has overseen the team for a handful of matches while the club conducts its search for a long-term appointment.
United's hierarchy is said to be impressed by Pochettino's track record of developing young talent and implementing an attacking style of play, qualities that align with the club's traditional philosophy.
No official announcement has been made by Manchester United regarding either Carrick's status or Pochettino's potential appointment.
