Ferguson has chosen the new Manchester United manager.
This is the one!!! Ferguson wants Pochettino as the new Manchester United manager.
TEAMtalk, a well-known football media outlet, reported that Sir Alex Ferguson, the legendary Manchester United manager, wants Mauricio Pochettino to become the new manager if Michael Carrick is dismissed.
Ferguson has admired Pochettino's abilities for a long time and believes the Argentine coach is the right person to lead the club into a new era of success. Pochettino is also supported by other senior club executives.
Although Ferguson is no longer part of United's football management, his opinions remain highly respected within the club.
Ferguson has consistently backed Pochettino; they share a good relationship and even dined together in 2016, which was widely reported. Pochettino nearly secured the United job three times—in 2018, when Ole Gunnar Solskjær was chosen, and again in 2022 when Erik ten Hag was appointed.
Additionally, Pochettino was considered again in 2024 before the club selected Rúben Amorim.
Currently, Pochettino's chances of becoming Manchester United manager are increasing as he is seriously considered while the club evaluates managerial options. Pochettino is ready to take the role if offered.
Regarding Carrick's future, Jason Wilcox has made a decision and is expected to confirm his position with co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and CEO Omar Berrada at a meeting at Ratcliffe's residence in Monte Carlo on Wednesday.
The decision to remove Carrick as manager will be communicated to him either that day or Thursday in a face-to-face meeting, after which the club will likely officially announce the separation through its formal channels.
Despite the season not going as planned, club media is expected to send messages of gratitude and appreciation to Carrick. The club legend will depart with sincere thanks and goodwill.
