”United States head coach Mauricio Pochettino would be expected to figure highly among the candidates, while former Newcastle United head coach Eddie Howe and Julian Nagelsmann, most recently in charge of Germany, have admirers at the club.
”A final call on Carrick’s future will require approval from co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the club’s majority owners, the Glazer family.”
Poch open to Man Utd move
The Sun reports Mauricio Pochettino would entertain the prospect of taking charge of United, despite agreeing a new four-year deal with the United States men’s team in the summer.
Pochettino last coached in the Premier League when in charge of Chelsea for the 2023/24 season.
”Just a couple of months ago he revealed he had received ”some calls from different clubs” before the World Cup but that he had batted them away because of his commitment to the US.
”He has long spoken of his admiration for United and the achievement of Sir Alex Ferguson and has been regularly linked with the Old Trafford role even during his time at Spurs.
”United made a tentative approach when he was at PSG and then, in 2022, Pochettino was edged out in a head to head with Erik ten Hag.
”A year later, he was appointed at Chelsea but left Stamford Bridge after just one season following disputes with the Blues board.”
Howe rejects Palace
Elsewhere, former Newcastle boss Eddie Howe has turned down the opportunity to manage Crystal Palace, according to The Sun.
The paper claims The Eagles will sack Pierre Sage imminently, but with Jens Berthel Askou and Ole Werner among the replacements being considered, as well as ex-Brentford and Tottenham boss Thomas Frank, Howe will not be heading to Selhurst Park.
”He is one of the leading contenders to take over the reins at Old Trafford should Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Co. decide they’ve seen enough.
”Ratcliffe has always preferred the idea of having an English manager in charge, believing England‘s biggest club should be represented by a homegrown boss.
”Howe made his name at Bournemouth, guiding them all the way from the depths of League Two to the Premier League, before winning the Carabao Cup as Newcastle boss.
”But he resigned as the Toon manager in July, claiming he wanted to take a break from football to recharge his batteries.”
