The club is also assessing possible alternatives.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carrick\u2019s position has come under pressure after United went eight consecutive Premier League matches without a win. The team\u2019s late fightbacks in recent matches have offered some encouragement, but have not eased doubts about its overall form.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pochettino, who previously managed Tottenham, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain, recently extended his contract as US head coach through 2030. United have considered him for the Old Trafford job before, but there have been no substantive talks with potential replacements so far.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">United are expected to use the international break to assess the season before deciding their next step. Carrick remains in charge for now, with the club\u2019s leadership weighing whether a change of coach would address the team\u2019s struggles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vanguardngr.com\/\">Vanguard News<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanguardngr.com\/2026\/11\/pochettino-open-to-man-united-talks-as-carricks-future-hangs-in-balance\/\">Pochettino open to Man United talks as Carrick\u2019s future hangs in balance<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanguardngr.com\/\">Vanguard News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Source: <\/p>\n<div class=\"nSourse\">Vanguard News<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Adegboyega Adeleye Mauricio Pochettino would be open to discussing the Manchester United head coach\u2019s position if the club approaches him, as Michael Carrick faces growing uncertainty over his future&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14356,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14355","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14355","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14355"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14355\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14356"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14355"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14355"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14355"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
