Argentine manager open to replacing Carrick at Man Utd

USA manager Mauricio Pochettino has opened the door to replacing Michael Carrick as the new head coach of Manchester United, as per TalkSPORT.

The Red Devils have had a dreadful league campaign thus far, and they have picked up only eight points after 10 games into the season.

Carrick could be on the brink of being sacked from the helm despite United's dramatic 4-4 draw against Aston Villa from 4-2 down in stoppage time.

United are yet to make a decision to part ways with the 45-year-old, but the search appears underway for a potential successor in the near future.

With the international break underway, United have ample time to find a new manager who could plan for the big derby ahead against Liverpool.

TalkSPORT cite that Pochettino is one of the top names on the club's radar and he would also be open to taking charge of the Red Devils too.

The Argentine has previously admitted that he wanted the job and may not refuse if United were to approach USA for his potential release.
