Manchester United considers Mauricio Pochettino amid contract with USMNT
Summary

Manchester United is exploring the possibility of hiring Mauricio Pochettino, currently the head coach of the USMNT. Despite recently signing a contract, reports indicate Pochettino may be open to a Premier League return, especially given United's struggles, currently sitting in the relegation zone after 10 matches. The US Soccer Federation added a $10 million out clause to his deal to prevent mid-cycle departures, allowing him to interview for jobs while ensuring a fee would be required for release. Pochettino is scheduled to lead the USMNT against Haiti in the CONCACAF Nations League on November 14 and 17.
