Mauricio Pochettino is reportedly "close" to leaving his role as USMNT head coach to take over at Manchester United, with personal terms said to be discussed. The potential departure comes as Manchester United is reportedly finalizing a deal to appoint Pochettino, should they sack current manager Michael Carrick.
Pochettino took the USMNT job in September 2024 and led the team to the round of 16 in the World Cup. Despite signing a new four-year deal in August, his future with the national team now appears uncertain. USMNT captain Tyler Adams acknowledged the speculation, stating that interest from a club like Manchester United is "no surprise" and that the team is focused on its upcoming Nations League quarterfinals.
