What happened

Manchester United have reached a verbal agreement in principle with Mauricio Pochettino to take over as head coach, according to Sky Sports, which says Michael Carrick is expected to be relieved of his duties before the end of the week [3]. Yahoo Sports reports the same agreement, three months after Pochettino signed a contract extension through 2030 with the USMNT [2]. Manchester United is a listed club, and its shares and those of its kit supplier adidas are shown below for context.

Sky Sports reports that Manchester United have reached a verbal agreement in principle with Mauricio Pochettino to take over as head coach. It says Michael Carrick took training on Wednesday and officially remains United boss, but is expected to be relieved of his duties before the end of the week [3].

Sky Sports says Pochettino has a £7m release clause in the contract he signed with the USA after the World Cup. It adds that he is likely to remain in charge of the USA for their two games against Haiti during the current international break, and that talks with US Soccer are set to accelerate over the next 24 hours [3].

Yahoo Sports describes the agreement as reported, and notes that it comes just three months after Pochettino signed a contract extension through 2030 [2]. The New York Times headline refers to a move 10 years in the making [1].
