Pochettino a decade in Man Utd's making - but Carrick deserves better
· Sports · BBC Sport
Mauricio Pochettino is expected to become the next manager of Manchester United following the planned dismissal of current head coach Michael Carrick. The club's leadership, including part-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, chief executive Omar Berrada, and director of football Jason Wilcox, is finalizing the transition after a summit in Monaco. Pochettino has been linked to the Old Trafford role for a decade, having previously been considered for the position in 2016, 2018, 2022, and 2024. Carrick, who took over on a permanent basis following a successful interim period, has struggled to improve the team's performance, leaving the club in the Premier League relegation zone. The incoming manager now faces the challenge of restructuring a squad assembled by six different predecessors.
Why it matters
