Manchester United Agree Verbal Deal with Mauricio Pochettino
Manchester United have reached a verbal agreement with Mauricio Pochettino, with talks ongoing with US Soccer over his $10m release clause. What comes next?
Manchester United are closing in on their next head coach. According to reports, the Premier League club have struck a verbal agreement with Mauricio Pochettino, who currently leads the United States men's national team.
Pochettino accepts United's terms
The Argentine is said to have signed off on every condition United put to him. The two sides have also reached a verbal understanding on the terms of his contract. What happens next depends on the remaining formal steps being completed.
Talks with US Soccer continue
The main hurdle is Pochettino's existing deal with the US Soccer Federation. United are still in discussions with the federation to finalise his exit. His contract reportedly includes a $10 million release clause, which could help clear the path for a move to Old Trafford. As things stand, neither the club nor the federation has made any official announcement.
Pochettino would arrive with plenty of Premier League experience, having previously managed Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea, as well as a spell at Paris Saint-Germain. If the deal goes through, it would mark a fresh chapter for the Red Devils and a notable change for the US national team.
