Manchester United are close to finalizing a deal with USA head coach Mauricio Pochettino.
Pochettino has become the favourite to replace under-fire Michael Carrick at Old Trafford.
United will reportedly pay around £7m to release Pochettino from his contract.
However, according to The Athletic, United are yet to open negotiations with the US Football Federation.
It is believed that the discussions would be straightforward, because of the existence of the release clause in Pochettino’s contract.
If Pochettino is eventually hired, he will be taking over a team sitting in 18th place on the Premier League table.
Their next league fixture after the November break is a trip to Anfield to take on Liverpool.
