Pochettino could leave USMNT amid Manchester United interest

Mauricio Pochettino, the head coach of the U.S. Men's National Team, is reportedly a favorite to take over Manchester United as its leadership considers the future of current coach Michael Carrick. Pochettino's contract with U.S. Soccer contains a $10 million release clause, which could be triggered if he decides to move. His tenure with the U.S. has seen mixed success, highlighted by a disappointing loss to Belgium in the recent World Cup. Manchester United is currently in 18th place in the Premier League, provoking discussions about Carrick's position. A meeting concerning Carrick's future is scheduled for Wednesday.
