Manchester United negotiates Pochettino in 2026
English club moves forward to pay $10 million termination clause and change technical command
November 12, 2026
Manchester United is negotiating the arrival of Mauricio Pochettino in 2026 to take over the team in place of Michael Carrick. The English club intends to trigger the $10 million termination clause.
Negotiation with the United States national team
Manchester United has intensified contacts to hire Mauricio Pochettino and replace Michael Carrick in command of the team. According to an investigation by ESPN, the English club approached the United States football federation to facilitate payment of the coach's $10 million termination clause. The move marks another attempt by the management to restructure the sports project at Old Trafford. As reported by The Guardian Football and BBC Sport Football, the impending change reflects the moment of transition and pressure on the football department.
Sports moment and scenario in the Premier League
The possible reformulation in command occurs amid unstable results from the team in the Premier League 26/27. In their last match, which ended on 08/11/2026, the team drew 4-4 against Aston Villa, recording 56% possession, 26 total shots, and an expected goals index of 3.55 against 2.88 for the opponent. Recently, the club has accumulated one win, one draw, and three losses in the last five matches played. Given this oscillating record, the next scheduled commitment in the table will be the classic against Liverpool on 22/11/2026.
