Pochettino, Howe, Nagelsmann linked to United

While Michael Carrick faces the risk of departure, the English press links Mauricio Pochettino, Eddie Howe and Julian Nagelsmann to Manchester United.
The article, written by journalist Ben Jacobs, underscores the seriousness of Carrick's situation.
Pochettino, the United States manager, Howe and Nagelsmann are currently without a club, with all three coaches linked to Manchester United.
According to sources, Pochettino is one of the leading candidates; although he has recently renewed his contract as United States manager, he remains open to the role.
If appointed, it would be a return to England, where he has already managed Southampton, Tottenham and Chelsea.
Free on the market, Howe and Nagelsmann also feature among the names on the table.
Internal discussions at Manchester United cover various topics, including the coaching question and the January market.
Michael Carrick's contract at Manchester United includes a one-year termination clause, facilitating a cheaper exit than that of previous managers.
