It appears that Michael Carrick will soon be a thing of the past in Manchester United’s coaching staff, with major media outlets already beginning to speculate about his replacement.
Mauricio Pochettino is being touted as the favorite, with the respected Ben Jacobs revealing that Carrick’s dismissal is merely a matter of time and that the Argentine coach is open to returning to England and the Premier League, 2.5 years after leaving the Chelsea bench.

Carrick is counting down the hours on the United bench
Since then, he has been with the U.S. national team, with whom he has a contract (which he in fact recently renewed) but with a buyout clause (close to 10 million euros) that by no means can be considered prohibitive for United, should they decide to sign him.
Nevertheless, Pochettino is not the only candidate, as the names of free agents Eddie Howe and Julian Nagelsmann have also been put on the table by United officials.
