USA Soccer silences Pochettino as United accelerate talks
Mauricio Pochettino stands on the brink of a Manchester United appointment while the USA Soccer Federation of the United States has abruptly halted all his scheduled media duties. The English club's board has intensified talks in recent hours and an agreement with the Argentine coach is said to be all but sealed.
The USA Soccer Federation immediately suspended all scheduled media appearances for the coach. The decision aims to avoid awkward questions and shield the national team from distractions during its training camp.
At Old Trafford, Pochettino is seen as the definitive answer to their poor run of results. The British club is fully committed to securing him, even agreeing to meet his release clause in full, reportedly close to ten million dollars.

The official silence at the US training camp suggests negotiations are in their final stages. Neither the federation nor the coach's representatives have denied the talks with the Premier League club.
Barring an unexpected last‑minute twist, an official announcement is expected within the next few days. Pochettino will return to British football to take immediate charge of the Red Devils' project.
