## Summary

Manchester United have opened talks with USA head coach Mauricio Pochettino about replacing Michael Carrick, whose future is expected to be decided at a meeting in Monaco on Wednesday. The club’s chief executive, director of football and co-owner are due to discuss Carrick’s position and the next steps, with senior figures expected to recommend his departure.

United are 18th in the Premier League after one win in their first 10 games and none since August, their lowest position at this stage of a top-flight season since 1986-87. Pochettino, 54, has previously managed Southampton, Tottenham, Paris St-Germain and Chelsea; he renewed his USA contract in August, and reportedly has a $10m (£7.5m) release clause. The USA have a Concacaf Nations League quarter-final against Haiti over the coming week.
