The United States Soccer Federation has canceled a planned media access session as reports intensify linking national team coach Mauricio Pochettino with a move to Manchester United.
Pochettino, who has been in charge of the US men's national team since 2024, was photographed on the touchline during a friendly against Germany at Soldier Field on November 11, 2026. The cancellation of the media availability comes amid growing speculation that the Premier League club is considering the Argentine as a potential managerial candidate.
Manchester United have been searching for a permanent manager following the departure of their previous coach, and Pochettino's experience in the Premier League with Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea makes him a prominent name in the rumor mill.
Neither the US Soccer Federation nor Manchester United have officially commented on the situation. The canceled media session was expected to provide an opportunity for Pochettino to address the speculation directly.
