Pochettino in line to take two USA games before leaving
Mauricio Pochettino is poised to sign a deal to take over at Manchester United after Michael Carrick was sacked as the head coach with the team in the Premier League’s relegation zone.
Pochettino was on Thursday discussing the final details to join a club with one win from their past 11 matches. He will lead the USA for the last time in their Concacaf Nations League quarter-final games against Haiti on Saturday and on Tuesday and should be at Carrington next week to prepare United to face Liverpool at Anfield in their first match after the international break. With the second US game finishing in the early hours of Wednesday GMT, his first day with United is expected to be Thursday.
