USMNT head coach Mauricio Pochettino to Manchester United is heating up 😳

[BBC Sport @BBCSport]

Mauricio Pochettino would be open to a move to Manchester United, multiple sources have told BBC Sport.

Pochettino signed an extension to his contract as USA coach in August.

However, the deal is thought to contain clauses that would allow him to leave for specific high-profile jobs.

BBC Sport reported in October that United had sounded out Eddie Howe and Julian Nagelsmann over replacing Michael Carrick, who the club look increasingly likely to sack.

Antonio Conte is also known to be keen on the role.

FORMER USMNT COACH B.J. CALLAGHAN AND NASHVILLE JUST MADE MLS HISTORY 🇺🇸🏆

The former interim USMNT head coach has led Nashville SC to 77 POINTS — the most in a single regular season in MLS history, surpassing Inter Miami’s record of 74 set in 2024.

What a run it's been for Callaghan:

▫️ 2023: Led the USMNT to the Concacaf Nations League title as interim head coach
▫️ 2025: Won the U.S. Open Cup with Nashville — the first trophy in club history. U.S. Soccer
▫️ 2026: Won Nashville’s first Supporters’ Shield, went unbeaten at home and capped it off with the MLS points record.

From lifting a trophy with the national team to making MLS history in Nashville. You love to see it 🇺🇸📈

QUINN SULLIVAN TO HIS BROTHER CAVAN SULLIVAN 🇺🇸🔥

[USMNT Only @usmntonly]

Jack McGlynn’s fifth goal of the season for Stoke City — he can’t stop scoring 🇺🇸🔥

He’s set to replace Gio Reyna on the USMNT roster following his injury.

[USMNT Only @usmntonly]

GIO REYNA SCORES… THEN COMES OFF WITH AN APPARENT INJURY 🇺🇸💔

Reyna scored his THIRD Ligue 1 goal of the season for Strasbourg against Toulouse, only to be substituted shortly afterward.

▫️ 68’: Scores to bring Strasbourg back within one goal
▫️ 70’: Replaced by Diogo Sousa

Reyna appeared to come off with an apparent thigh problem. The severity remains unclear, along with whether it will affect his availability for the upcoming USMNT camp.

A brilliant moment followed by another injury concern. Hopefully it's nothing too serious for Gio 🙏

THE NEW GOLD CUP FORMAT IN 2027 🏆👀

CONCACAF has confirmed changes to next summer’s tournament. Here’s how it will differ from previous editions:

▫️ Previously: FOUR groups of FOUR teams.
▫️ 2027: TWO groups of EIGHT teams.
▫️ Previously: THREE group-stage matches per team.
▫️ 2027: FOUR group-stage matches per team.
▫️ Previously: The top TWO in each group advanced.
▫️ 2027: The top FOUR in each group advance.

Each team will face four different opponents from its group, selected across ranking bands. Teams won’t play all seven other countries in their group.

The tournament still features 16 teams, with eight advancing to the quarterfinals, followed by the semifinals and final.

Saudi Arabia returns as the guest nation alongside 15 CONCACAF teams.

CONCACAF says the changes are designed to produce more matchups between the region’s strongest teams earlier in the tournament.

THREE YEARS LATER, BRYAN REYNOLDS IS BACK 🇺🇸👏

Bryan Reynolds is back in the USMNT squad for the first time since the 2023 Gold Cup — and his journey deserves some attention.

Growing up, Reynolds shared a two-bedroom home with seven other family members. He has recalled sleeping on an air mattress alongside his father and brother.

At just 15, he signed his first professional contract with FC Dallas and began helping support his family.

▫️ 2016: Became FC Dallas’ youngest signing at the time.
▫️ 2021: Moved to Roma at 19, taking a huge step from MLS to Serie A.
▫️ 2022: Struggled for opportunities in Italy and headed to Belgium, first with Kortrijk and then Westerlo.
▫️ 2023: Joined Westerlo permanently and continued rebuilding his career.
▫️ 2026: Earned a move to Rennes and recorded two assists in his first Ligue 1 start.
▫️ Now: Earned his first USMNT call-up in more than three years.

Reynolds made just eight appearances for Roma. But he kept working, established himself in Belgium and earned another opportunity in one of Europe’s top five leagues.

When he joined Rennes this summer, his message was clear:

🗣️ “I have to prove that I’m ready — for the manager, my team-mates and the club.”

Now, 25-year-old Reynolds has another chance with his country. 🇺🇸❤️

SANTIAGO CASTAÑEDA’S JOURNEY FROM FLORIDA HIGH SCHOOL SOCCER TO THE USMNT IS INCREDIBLE 🇺🇸📈

Four years ago, Santiago Castañeda was playing high school soccer in Florida and taking his first steps with the Tampa Bay Rowdies.

Now, the 21-year-old Bundesliga midfielder has earned his FIRST USMNT call-up. This has been his journey 👏

▫️ Left Tampa Bay United’s MLS NEXT program to attend Tampa Prep, prioritizing his education while continuing with Florida Premier in ECNL.

▫️ Helped Tampa Prep win a state championship during an unbeaten season.

▫️ 2022: Made his senior debut for the Tampa Bay Rowdies in the U.S. Open Cup.

▫️ 2023: Chose a professional opportunity with MSV Duisburg in Germany’s third division over a planned college career at Michigan.

▫️ 2024: Earned a move to Paderborn in the German second division.

▫️ 2025: Made his U.S. U21 debut against Serbia.

▫️ 2026: Helped Paderborn win promotion to the Bundesliga, scored his first top-flight goal against Hoffenheim in September, and earned his FIRST senior USMNT call-up.

Earlier in his journey, Castañeda explained how high school soccer helped him rediscover his enjoyment of the sport:

🗣️ “It is not the best level of soccer, but it brought joy back to the game for me.”

He has now made eight Bundesliga appearances this season, scoring once.

When he learned Monday that he had been selected for the USMNT, the emotions hit:

🗣️ “Being called up is a dream come true.”

🗣️ “I could hardly sleep after the news because I was so happy about it.”

From Florida high school soccer to Germany’s third division, the Bundesliga and now a chance to represent his country at senior level.

What a ride. And he’s still only 21 🇺🇸❤️
