Mauricio Pochettino is set to become the new head coach of Manchester United, with all parties having reached a full agreement in principle, according to sources from Sky Sports. This development comes just after the club confirmed the dismissal of interim manager Michael Carrick on Monday.
The English club is prepared to activate the Argentine manager’s $10 million release clause, a move already acknowledged by the United States Soccer Federation. Pochettino’s contract situation required this payment to secure his early departure from the USMNT coaching role.

Despite the impending switch, Pochettino has requested permission to remain at the helm of the US national team for their upcoming Concacaf Nations League quarterfinal matches against Haiti. These two-legged fixtures are scheduled for Saturday in Florida and the following Wednesday in Cincinnati.
Following these games, Pochettino will relocate to England, arriving in Manchester on November 19. Upon his arrival, he will be formally introduced as the new manager and will immediately begin preparations for his first match in charge of the Red Devils.
