🚨 BREAKING: Manchester United make formal contact with US Soccer as Mauricio Pochettino appointment nears. 54yo’s release clause must be activated + extra payment for staff. #MUFC relaxed if Argentine manages #USMNT games. By @lauriewhitwell@AdamCrafton_ https://t.co/1fNqrP7gHd
🚨 BREAKING: Manchester United have verbally agreed terms in principle with Mauricio Pochettino to become the new head coach.
Negotiations ongoing with US Federation to move forward as $10m release clause is available to get Poch.
Formal steps to follow — then here we go.
@FrankEra_ They've been sorting out for weeks... Ornstein literally said there was a meeting with Poch weeks ago... Carrick is a wealthy 45 year old bloke who is happy to be here until he is replaced. Nothing m.
How much do Chelsea want for Gusto in January?
Been poor under Maresca, that's a given, but Poch can get the best of him. Only if reasonable fee tho
Like Truffert for the left
Such a lazy point that first one, Poch wants ATHLETIC defenders. Not midgets who can't turn nor run
Secondly, Rashford doesn't have the work rate nor ability nor reading of the game OFF THE BALL to play in a Poch team long term
Some early Poch predictions:
- Lisandro will be convinced to stay, probably sees an upturn in form in the short-term
- Baleba becomes a regular in midfield
- Rashford & Sesko brought into the front three
- Bruno looks a world beater again, mainly because of the point above
🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Manchester United finalising deal to appoint Mauricio Pochettino if ultimate decision made to replace Michael Carrick. 54yo lined up & terms being done with camp. #MUFC yet to contact US but straight-forward should plan proceed @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/YTEGRxbVpF
