ESPN: United contacts U.S. Soccer ahead of a possible Pochettino clause trigger

ESPN reports that Manchester United contacted U.S. Soccer ahead of triggering Mauricio Pochettino’s $10 million release clause, as the club closes in on a deal to hire him. The Guardian had separately reported that Pochettino was interested in the move, that the interest was mutual, and that the clause was about $10 million. The reported contact is a step toward a deal, not a completed appointment. Pochettino’s arrival still depends on Carrick being dismissed, which United has not confirmed.
