Pochettino says yes to Man United and the deal is closing
Pochettino wants the Manchester United job and would leave the US national team right away; his release clause is around $10m.
Mauricio Pochettino has said yes to the Manchester United project, and Fabrizio Romano reports the deal is getting closer. The Argentine wants the job, but the club still has to make an official approach to the US Federation.
He would leave the US national team immediately. His clause stands at $10 million and would be triggered if everything goes to plan.
All of this hinges on Michael Carrick being fired, which is still expected. As we reported before, United are lining up Pochettino if Carrick falls, and the next step is formal contact with the federation.
