Rumors about Pochettino at Manchester United do not distract Robinson

On the USA national team's training ground, while the players are preparing for the double clash against Haiti in the CONCACAF Nations League quarter‑finals, rumours are circulating about a possible return of Mauricio Pochettino to England to take charge of Manchester United.

US defender Antonee Robinson said the coach is focused on the two matches during this break and that nothing has changed after the news of a possible yes to the Red Devils, which could mean a split from the North American national team.

Robinson added: “The news caught us by surprise, as it did worldwide. Similar things have already happened in the past, like during the World Cup, when several very big clubs started assessing possible candidates for the new season.”

The full‑back, who plays for Fulham, emphasized that having a coach with such contacts is a fortune and allows him to work with a top‑level manager, but it does not change the team's work.

He concluded by stating that the external noise has nothing to do with the coach, who is focused on getting the best out of the players to secure two victories in the Nations League.

In the meantime, the decision of INEOS patron Jim Ratcliffe has been communicated to current manager Michael Carrick, who is set to leave the club after a poor start to the season that has put them in the relegation zone.

Now an agreement must be reached with the United States Soccer Federation, to which Pochettino is tied until 2030, and Manchester United is expected to pay compensation to release the Argentine manager, with talks already underway.
