Pochettino expected to lead US in Nations League games before Manchester United move
According to a report by the Guardian on Thursday, November 12, 2026, Mauricio Pochettino will remain in charge of the US men's national team for their upcoming Concacaf Nations League matches against Haiti, despite having reached a framework agreement to join Manchester United. Following the sacking of Michael Carrick, Manchester United has officially contacted US Soccer to secure Pochettino's services. The move would require United to pay a $10 million buyout clause. Pochettino has been leading training sessions in Georgia this week and is scheduled to address the media on Friday.
