Manchester United reportedly are considering firing manager Michael Carrick after the squad has slipped to 18th in the Premier League table with a 4-4 draw against Aston Villa on Sunday.
The Red Devils are winless (three losses, five draws) in the league since Aug 30. With one victory and eight points through 10 games, they are off to their worst-ever Premier League start.
Pochettino, 54, coached Tottenham, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain before joining the USMNT in 2024.
