Sources: Man United turn to Pochettino with Carrick on the brink

Manchester United are considering replacing interim manager Michael Carrick with United States national team coach Mauricio Pochettino, sources have told ESPN. The club's hierarchy, including co-chairman Joel Glazer and minority owner Jim Ratcliffe, is assessing Carrick's position after United's worst-ever Premier League start, with just one win in 10 games leaving them one point off the bottom of the table. Pochettino, 54, who recently extended his US Soccer contract until 2030 and led the USA to the World Cup round of 16, has a £7.4 million release clause that United would need to trigger.
