## Summary

Broadcaster and journalist Danny Kelly has died aged 69 after treatment for oesophageal cancer. The article also reports that Mauricio Pochettino could be considered for the Manchester United job, an appointment that would bring questions about the club’s direction and his commitments to the United States national team.

Kelly edited the NME and Q Magazine, founded Football 365 and later worked for the BBC and TalkSport; Danny Baker led tributes to his longtime colleague. Pochettino signed a four-year US Soccer contract extension in August, and United would reportedly face costs of about £10m to dismiss Michael Carrick and release Pochettino from his deal. The US team are due to play Haiti on Saturday.
