Manchester United reach agreement with Mauricio Pochettino
Manchester United have reached an agreement to appoint Mauricio Pochettino as the club’s new manager, according to a report attributed to journalist David Ornstein.
The Argentine is expected to leave his position with the United States national team and take charge at Old Trafford. The reported agreement would run until summer 2029, with Manchester United also required to pay a release fee to the U.S. Soccer Federation.
The report says Pochettino could be officially unveiled as early as Friday, Nov. 13, and that he would lead the team in its upcoming Premier League match against Liverpool. A separate report also described Pochettino as due to fly to Manchester, citing Sky Sports.
A major change at Old Trafford
The appointment would mark a significant reset for United, with Pochettino arriving as the club seeks a new direction in the Premier League. The available reporting does not provide further details on the club’s contract negotiations, coaching staff or squad plans.
The move is also notable because Pochettino would return to club management after his period with the United States national team, although the available sources do not report the precise timing of his departure or the terms of the agreement beyond the reported release fee and contract length.
