The club spoke to Mauricio Pochettino earlier today.
Carrick’s departure was not a surprise to the board. It was something they had already anticipated following the unacceptable run of results, with the losses and draws during his time in charge.
The talks with Pochettino were very positive. The board really like him, he has always been highly regarded internally, and there is a strong desire to bring him to Manchester United.
Pochettino would also love the opportunity. He has huge admiration for Sir Alex Ferguson, who himself was keen for Carrick to remain, but unfortunately things didn’t work out.
Contract-wise, I’d realistically expect a three-year deal, with an option or a four year deal

Pochettino is one of these guys where if you appoint him, you HAVE to give him those 3 years minimum to build, fanbase included.
Maybe people don’t like the appointment, but I don’t think you can be against the manager from the very start.
I’ll personally be backing him.

My understanding is that discussions surrounding Pochettino have taken place and are continuing, with further developments expected over the coming hours.
Pochettino is understood to be open to the possibility of joining Manchester United, should the opportunity arise. 🤝
There has been longstanding admiration for the Argentine within the club. His Premier League experience with Southampton, Tottenham and Chelsea is highly regarded, particularly his work at Tottenham.
Several senior figures at United are believed to appreciate him.
As things stand, Pochettino is the leading name being considered, although other managerial candidates remain under discussion.
Nothing is finalised, and the situation could still change. Football can move very quickly.
