United set to sack Carrick; Pochettino top target

See us more often on Google: Manchester United is about to dismiss Michael Carrick. Mauricio Pochettino tops the wish list as a possible successor. A possible buyout sum could amount to almost nine million euros.

Carrick on the brink of departure

The Red Devils would have to release the Argentine manager, which could become costly. The Athletic reported Monday evening that Carrick’s adventure is likely coming to an end. The decision is not yet final, but he will probably no longer be on the bench during the match against Liverpool.

Pochettino as an expensive option

Signing Pochettino would cost Manchester United extra money. The Argentine manager has a contract until mid‑2030 as the United States national team coach. His contract includes a buyout clause of ten million dollars, about €8.8 million. Pochettino has previously served in the Premier League with Southampton, Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea.

Eddie Howe and Julian Nagelsmann are also on the list of possible candidates. If Manchester United choose Howe, a multi‑million sum would have to be transferred to Newcastle.
