Rumour: Man United eye Mauricio Pochettino to replace Carrick

According to ESPN (via L'Équipe), the United States head coach is the preferred candidate of the Manchester United hierarchy.

Manchester United are reportedly looking at Mauricio Pochettino to replace Michael Carrick, whose position is increasingly in doubt. According to ESPN, cited by L'Équipe, the former PSG coach is the club's preferred candidate.

Foot Mercato writes that Carrick is expected to be sacked and that Pochettino, currently coach of the United States, is the big favourite to take over. According to RMC Sport, prising him away from the national team would cost United a considerable sum, with several names in circulation.

Sky Sports says Pochettino would be open to talks if the club approached him. Nothing is official at this stage.
