Manchester United Delays Michael Carrick Exit Over Monaco Meeting as $10 Million Pochettino Move Nears

3 articles · Updated · The New York Times · Nov 11

Summary

  • Michael Carrick is still running Manchester United training despite an expected dismissal, with the club yet to formally ratify a decision insiders already regard as settled.
  • A Monaco meeting involving Jim Ratcliffe, Jason Wilcox and Omar Berrada delayed the process, leaving Carrick in place through the international break while United finalize next steps.
  • Mauricio Pochettino is the leading replacement, and United are working on an approach even though he is currently with the U.S. men's national team.
  • $10 million in compensation could be required to land Pochettino and his staff, adding to criticism that United mishandled both Carrick's exit and the timing of the succession.
