Rumour over Pochettino, United in crisis and Carrick under pressure
The rumor that Manchester United is linking up with Mauricio Pochettino is getting stronger. Michael Carrick remains head coach of the struggling club. The Argentine appears to be set to part ways with the United States in the near future. Manchester United is currently sitting in the relegation zone in the Premier League.
This seems likely to cost head coach Carrick his job. According to English media, the manager must soon clear the field and there is much talk about a successor. Pochettino appears to be the main candidate for that.
He is still head coach of the United States, but notable things are happening at the start of the international break. For example, Wednesday’s press conference, where Pochettino was supposed to be present, was cancelled. According to the American federation, the press event was not cancelled because of the rumors, but because of Veterans Day.
The timing is remarkable, especially since Pochettino was spotted that day warmly hugging staff. It seemed that the national coach was taking his leave, although this has not been confirmed.
