Summary
Manchester United formally approached U.S. Soccer about hiring Mauricio Pochettino, with multiple reports indicating the USMNT coach is expected to take over once Michael Carrick is dismissed.
A $10 million release from Pochettino's contract with U.S. Soccer is the main hurdle after he only recently signed on through the 2030 World Cup.
Carrick was still due to lead training Wednesday before United executives met on his future, as the club fights relegation and accelerates its coaching search.
The timing leaves the U.S. team in limbo ahead of Nations League quarterfinals against Haiti on Saturday and Tuesday, with no clarity on whether Pochettino will be on the touchline or who would replace him.
