Argentine manager Mauricio Pochettino has reportedly reached a verbal agreement to become the next manager of Manchester United, according to a report by Nicholas Mendola for NBC Sports.
The former Tottenham Hotspur, Paris Saint-Germain, and Chelsea boss has been out of management since leaving Stamford Bridge at the end of the 2023-24 season. Pochettino's potential appointment would mark his return to the Premier League, where he previously spent five seasons with Tottenham and led them to the 2019 Champions League final.
Manchester United have been searching for a permanent successor since parting ways with Erik ten Hag earlier in the season. The club's hierarchy reportedly identified Pochettino as a leading candidate due to his experience in English football and track record of developing young talent.
No official confirmation has been issued by either party, and the details of any potential contract remain undisclosed. The reported agreement would need to be finalized with a formal contract before an announcement could be made.
