Pochettino favourite for Manchester United job
Two former Chelsea managers have been linked with the Manchester United job. Manchester United look to be heading for another managerial change, and the timing says everything about the scale of the problem. According to Standard Sport, Michael Carrick is now close to the end after a collapse that has erased the goodwill built during last season’s rescue job.
United’s managerial crossroads
Carrick returned to Old Trafford earlier this year, replacing Ruben Amorim on a short‑term basis. He then earned a two‑year contract after delivering Champions League qualification and stabilising a club that had been drifting. Carrick’s exit is reportedly set to be “relieved of his duties”, with a change anticipated before the Red Devils face Liverpool in a clash at Anfield on November 22. This report says United were “consigned to the Premier League relegation zone for the entirety of the November international break”.
Manchester United Manager favourite is Mauricio Pochettino at odds of 6/4. Julian Nagelsmann follows at odds of 5/2. Eddie Howe is listed at odds of 3/1.
United’s push for World Cup‑winning Argentine could oust Carrick
Antonio Conte, Didier Deschamps, Kieran McKenna and Gareth Southgate also feature among the contenders. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is also among those priced by bookmakers. Carlo Ancelotti, Thomas Tuchel and Diego Simeone round out the list of names in the odds.
