Man United supporters avoid looking at the Premier League table heading into the second international break. For those who do, the Manchester United name glows in flashing red – below the relegation line. The optimism Michael Carrick injected last season, which ended with a strong 3rd place in the world’s toughest league, now seems to belong to another decade. This week there is an end to speculation. Carrick is patted out the gate at Old Trafford for honorable efforts, in is an Argentine cannon brought in by a coach.
On Wednesday, Michael Carrick will lead the United training at Carrington for the players who are not out on international duty, but according to David Ornstein of The Athletic , United are in negotiations with the replacement, where the contract is about to be finalized.
According to the English journalist, Jason Wilcox and Omar Berrada have travelled to Monaco to meet big boss Jim Ratcliffe. Initially, the INEOS boss does not want to sack Carrick, but all the arrows point to that happening.
Poch led Tottenham with great success and title contenders in the Premier League, but was fired a few months after he led the club to its first ever Champions League final. Took a round at PSG, returned to chaos club Chelsea for one poor season (which actually ended with a passing grade), led the USA to the last eight of the World Cup and now has a long-term contract.
Pochettino has been heavily linked to Manchester United on several occasions, the Argentine gave a clear message before the World Cup that he wants to return to the Premier League at a later date to lead a big club. This opportunity seems to be now.
Pochettino definitely a coach who has the weight internationally, but most importantly – also in the Premier League. This is a coach who can give Man Utd the football and energy to win games – also over time.
