MANCHESTER UNITED TARGET MAURICIO POCHETTINO AS NEXT HEAD COACH.

There are reports that Mauricio Pochettino is willing to accept an offer from Manchester United to become the club’s next head coach.

The English club has begun discussions with the Argentine manager as a possible replacement for Michael Carrick, who is expected to be sacked within the next few days.

Sources told newsmen that Pochettino, who currently manages the United States national team, is interested in taking up the Manchester United job once Carrick’s situation is resolved.

Officials of the US Soccer Federation are reportedly anticipating an official approach from United and have already prepared for the possibility of losing their manager, including identifying a succession plan.

However, sources stated that Manchester United would have to pay 10 million dollars to secure Pochettino’s release from his contract with the United States national team, which he signed in August.
