BBC chief football writer Phil McNulty examines Mauricio Pochettino's prolonged association with Manchester United in a column published on November 11, 2026. The article suggests that while Pochettino has been linked with the Old Trafford job for nearly a decade, current United assistant Michael Carrick deserves greater recognition for his contributions.
Pochettino has served as head coach of the United States men's national team since September 2024, a role he assumed after leaving his previous club position. The analysis reflects on the Argentine manager's career trajectory and the ongoing situation at Manchester United.
