U.S. Men's National Team head coach Mauricio Pochettino is reportedly the leading candidate to take over as Manchester United manager and is prepared to accept an offer from the Premier League club.
According to reports from All Out Soccer, the Argentine tactician has positioned himself as the frontrunner for the Old Trafford hot seat. Pochettino, who currently manages the USMNT, has previous Premier League experience with Southampton and Tottenham Hotspur, where he led Spurs to the 2019 Champions League final.
The potential move would represent a significant shift for both parties. Manchester United have been seeking stability in the dugout following a period of managerial changes, while Pochettino would be leaving his international post with the United States ahead of the 2026 World Cup on home soil.
No official announcement has been made by either Manchester United or U.S. Soccer regarding the situation.
