LONDON, Nov 11 (Bernama-PA Media/dpa) -- Manchester United are preparing to turn to Mauricio Pochettino if Michael Carrick is sacked, PA Media/dpa reported.
The Press Association understands plans are afoot to recruit the Argentinian should Carrick, as expected, be dismissed by United with the club in the relegation zone on the back of their worst start to a season since 1986.
Club executives have been doing their due diligence regarding Pochettino, who is understood to be interested in the Old Trafford post.
The former Tottenham, Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea boss signed a contract extension just three months ago to remain as United States head coach through to the 2030 World Cup, and US Soccer would be entitled to compensation should he agree to move to United.
Chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox are set to hold talks with United co-owner Jim Ratcliffe in Monaco on Wednesday.
Carrick was photographed arriving at United’s Carrington training ground on Wednesday morning.
