Managerial Change at Old Trafford
Manchester United are working to complete an agreement with Mauricio Pochettino on Thursday. The 54-year-old is expected to take over after Michael Carrick was dismissed earlier that morning by chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox. Carrick departs with the team sitting 18th in the Premier League following just one league win this season.
Release Clause and Talks
Positive discussions took place with the U.S. Soccer Federation on Wednesday. United plan to activate the $10 million (£7m) release clause in Pochettino's contract once personal terms are settled. The club remains relaxed about him overseeing the two games against Haiti during the upcoming international break.
Timeline for Arrival and Debut
Pochettino is due at Carrington by Nov. 18 at the latest. His first match in charge is scheduled against Liverpool at Anfield on Nov. 22. Most of the squad's international players are also expected back by Nov. 18. After leading the U.S. to the round of 16 at last summer's World Cup and signing a four-year extension in August, he is now set to return to the Premier League.
