Manchester United are reportedly closing in on an agreement with Mauricio Pochettino to replace Michael Carrick as head coach if the club decides to end his tenure.<\/p>\n

\n

According to Sky Sports, the former Tottenham and Chelsea manager, who currently coaches the United States national team, is being lined up as Carrick\u2019s potential successor, with discussions between the parties said to be at an advanced stage.<\/p>\n

Carrick reported to United\u2019s Carrington training ground at around 7:45 am on Wednesday, with uncertainty continuing over his future at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

The club\u2019s hierarchy is expected to discuss his position at a meeting in Monaco on Wednesday, where chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox are scheduled to meet minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.<\/p>\n

The meeting was initially arranged to review United\u2019s performances this season, but Carrick\u2019s position is now expected to feature prominently following the club\u2019s disappointing start to the campaign.<\/p>\n

Berrada and Wilcox are expected to present their recommendations to Ratcliffe, who oversees football operations at the club, before a final decision is reached on the head coach\u2019s future.<\/p>\n

Sky Sports News understands that United would have to pay approximately \u00a37m to release Pochettino from his recently signed contract with the United States national team, although the financial requirement is not considered an obstacle to the proposed appointment.<\/p>\n

Pochettino is reportedly prepared to take over if United decide to make a change, although he is currently scheduled to lead the United States against Haiti on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, former United captain Roy Keane has criticised Carrick\u2019s leadership following the club\u2019s recent performances.<\/p>\n

Keane said the under-pressure manager \u201ctalks a lot but doesn\u2019t say much\u201d and needs to \u201cget moving\u201d on improving the team after United\u2019s late 4-4 draw against Aston Villa.<\/p>\n

United\u2019s struggles have increased scrutiny on Carrick, with the club\u2019s management now considering a potential change in the dugout.<\/p>\n
