Pochettino Emerges As Candidate For Man United Job Amid Poor Run Of Results Under Carrick

Mauricio Pochettino has emerged as a potential candidate to manage Manchester United amid the club’s poor run of results.

However, the Argentine coach remains under contract with the United States men’s national team through 2030.

The managerial situation at Manchester United is once again generating uncertainty following a series of disappointing results that have left the English club in the Premier League relegation zone.

According to information published by The Standard (beIN Sports) Mauricio Pochettino has emerged as the bookmakers’ favorite to potentially replace Michael Carrick.

The Argentine coach, currently in charge of the United States men’s national team, has extensive experience in English football, having previously managed Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea.

However, his potential arrival at Old Trafford remains speculation, with no confirmed reports of a formal offer.

The pressure on Michael Carrick intensified following a dramatic 4-4 draw against Aston Villa, a match in which the Red Devils needed two stoppage-time goals to avoid another defeat.

Joshua Zirkzee scored in the 92nd minute before Patrick Dorgu secured the equalizer in the 96th minute.

Manchester United has now gone eight consecutive Premier League matches without a victory, recording five draws and three defeats.

The club’s most recent win came on August 30, when it defeated Ipswich Town 5-2.

With just eight points and sitting 18th in the standings, the club faces a difficult situation that could lead to managerial changes during the international break.
