Manchester United are reportedly preparing to make changes to their coaching setup, with manager Michael Carrick’s future at the club increasingly being linked to a possible departure.
According to reports, Carrick’s contract includes an early termination clause, which could make it less costly for the club to end his contract compared to the arrangements involving his predecessors.
Former Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino is reportedly among the leading candidates to replace him. The Argentine is said to be open to taking charge of United, despite recently extending his contract with the United States Soccer Federation.
Other names being discussed include Eddie Howe and Julian Nagelsmann. However, if United decide to appoint Howe, they would reportedly have to pay Newcastle United approximately £3 million in compensation.
Attention is now focused on Manchester United’s final decision regarding Carrick’s future and the manager who could be appointed should the club proceed with the proposed changes.
