Manchester United Reach Verbal Agreement with Mauricio Pochettino to Replace Michael Carrick

Posted : 11 November 2026

Manchester United have reportedly reached a verbal agreement in principle with Mauricio Pochettino to become their next head coach if Michael Carrick is dismissed.

The development comes as the club's leadership prepares to decide Carrick's future following a disappointing campaign that has left United 18th in the Premier League table after winning just once in their opening 10 matches.

Pochettino, who currently manages the United States national team, is understood to be keen on taking charge at Old Trafford despite signing a contract extension until 2030 just three months ago.

Manchester United would reportedly need to pay around $10 million (£7.5 million) to activate his release clause, with additional compensation potentially required if he brings members of his coaching staff to Manchester.

United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe is expected to discuss Carrick's position with chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox during a meeting in Monaco.

Although Carrick remains in charge for now, reports suggest the club's senior executives favour a managerial change after a difficult run that included defeats against Bournemouth and Chelsea, alongside a 4-4 draw with Aston Villa.

The 54-year-old Pochettino has considerable experience in English football, having previously managed Southampton, Tottenham and Chelsea, as well as Paris Saint-Germain in France.

 He is expected to lead the United States in their upcoming Concacaf Nations League quarter-final matches against Haiti, although uncertainty surrounding his future has raised questions about whether he will remain in charge for those fixtures.
