LONDON (ENGLAND) (ITALPRESS) – Manchester United are expected to officially announce the dismissal of Michael Carrick within the next 48 hours, before subsequently confirming the appointment of Mauricio Pochettino.
According to BBC Sport, there are no longer any doubts. A meeting scheduled to take place in the coming hours between CEO Omar Berrada, sporting director Jason Wilcox and co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe is expected to result in the dismissal of the current manager, who is paying the price for a disastrous Premier League campaign, with United sitting second from bottom in the table after collecting just eight points from 10 matches.
His successor will be the former Tottenham Hotspur and Paris Saint-Germain manager. However, United must first secure his release from his contract with the United States Soccer Federation by triggering his release clause of 10 million dollars, approximately 9 million euros.
An agreement between United and the Argentine coach is reportedly already in place, but time is running short, as the United States are preparing for a two-legged tie against Haiti (November 14 and 18) in the Concacaf Nations League quarter-finals.
When the Premier League resumes, United will travel to face Liverpool, and Pochettino could already be in the dugout.
