Man Utd to announce new manager tomorrow?

Manchester United are reportedly close to agreeing terms with Mauricio Pochettino for the head coach position.

The Red Devils have had a dismal start to the Premier League campaign and have picked up just eight points in 10 matches.

As a result, the hierarchy have decided on a change at the helm and Michael Carrick is expected to be sacked as manager in the next 24 hours.

United have already opened negotiations with Pochettino to succeed Carrick and will begin talks with the USA over his release very soon.

Pochettino has a clause in his contract that allows him to be released by the USA, but United will need to pay compensation of around £7 million.

It is anticipated that the process could be fairly straightforward and Pochettino could be formally announced as United's manager tomorrow.

Pochettino has been a long-term admirer of the United job and he is said to be excited to take charge of his dream role this campaign.
