USMNT star opens up about Mauricio Pochettino-Manchester United rumors
USMNT defender Antonee Robinson said reports linking head coach Mauricio Pochettino with Manchester United have not unsettled the national team. He described the speculation as outside noise and said Pochettino remains focused on preparing the squad for its Concacaf Nations League quarter-finals.
Pochettino attended training in Georgia but did not comment on the reports. Manchester United were expected to dismiss manager Michael Carrick amid the club’s poor start to the Premier League season, while reports said Pochettino was keen on the role but in no rush to leave the US team. He signed a contract extension through the 2030 World Cup in August, reportedly with a $10 million buyout clause; the US play Haiti over two legs, with matches in Miami and Cincinnati.
In short
- Robinson says the Manchester United rumours have not affected the US squad.
- Pochettino is reportedly interested in the job but not rushing to leave.
- His US contract runs through 2030 and reportedly has a $10 million buyout.
