Pochettino nears Manchester United move, Guardiola eyed as USMNT replacement

U.S. Men's National Team coach Mauricio Pochettino may be close to joining Manchester United, with Michael Carrick's position reportedly in jeopardy after a poor start to the season. United is currently 18th in the Premier League and facing pressure after losing earlier competitions. Pochettino's departure would prompt U.S. Soccer to consider Pep Guardiola as a potential successor.

U.S. Soccer executives have a challenging task to convince him to return to management.
