With Carrick’s fate now confirmed, Daily Mail Sport expects former Tottenham, Chelsea and PSG boss Mauricio Pochettino to step into the hot seat at Old Trafford.
The current United States national team manager reached a verbal agreement with Man United to take over on Wednesday.
The Red Devils then made a formal approach to US Soccer shortly after, with the club having to trigger the 54-year-old Argentine’s £7million release clause.
It now seems a formality that Pochettino will take over, but it remains to be seen when that happens given the USMNT face two games over the next week against Haiti in the Nations League quarter-finals.
