Manchester United have reached an agreement to appoint Mauricio Pochettino as their next manager until 2029, just hours after officially announcing the departure of Michael Carrick.
The Red Devils confirmed Carrick’s dismissal on Thursday, November 12, following a disastrous start to the 2026/27 Premier League season.
And the club have already made significant progress in bringing a replacement to Old Trafford.
According to Sky Sports, Pochettino has agreed to take charge on a two-and-a-half-year deal running until the summer of 2029.

The former Tottenham, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain manager is expected to become United’s next permanent head coach.
Pochettino currently manages the United States national team, but he is preparing to return to English football.
Manchester United are expected to pay around £7 million to release the Argentine from his contract with US Soccer.
According to reports, the 54-year-old will complete his upcoming international commitments before taking charge at Old Trafford.
However, United have not yet officially announced his appointment, with the final formalities still to be completed.
Man Utd officially sack Michael Carrick
Meanwhile, Manchester United confirmed on November 12 that Michael Carrick had left his position as head coach.
The club thanked the former midfielder for his dedication and achievements, including guiding United to third place in the Premier League last season.
However, Carrick’s second season proved extremely difficult.
United currently sit 18th in the Premier League after collecting just eight points from their opening ten matches.
The Red Devils have managed only one league victory, with their recent 4-4 draw against Aston Villa adding further pressure.
The disappointing results convinced the club’s leadership that a managerial change was necessary.
Pochettino prepares for major Old Trafford challenge
Pochettino has been linked with Manchester United several times in the past, but a move has never been completed.
Now, the Argentine looks set to finally take charge of the Premier League giants.
His experience at Tottenham, Chelsea and PSG could prove important as United attempt to recover from their difficult start.
According to Sky Sports, Pochettino is expected to make his Manchester United debut against Liverpool at Anfield on November 22.
The highly anticipated match could mark the beginning of a completely new era at Old Trafford.
A new chapter begins at Manchester United
Carrick’s departure marks another major managerial change for Manchester United since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013.
The club now hopes Pochettino can restore confidence, improve performances and lead the team away from the relegation zone.
With an agreement reportedly in place until 2029, Manchester United appear ready to begin a new chapter under the experienced Argentine coach.
Supporters are now awaiting the official announcement of Pochettino’s appointment.
