🚨🎙️ - David Ornstein on Pochettino: “I can now reveal that the release clause will need to be paid by Pochettino himself, RATHER than Manchester United.” [@David_Ornstein/@TOTDevils]#mufc

🚨 Manchester United were in conversation with Mauricio Pochettino and others WEEKS BACK. [@JacobsBen @UnitedStandMUFC] #mufc

🚨 BREAKING: Manchester United have verbally agreed terms in principle with Mauricio Pochettino to become the new head coach. Negotiations ongoing with US Federation to move forward as $10m release clause is available to get Poch. Formal steps to follow — then here we go. #mufc

🚨💣 JUST IN: Verbal agreement with Mauricio Pochettino is 100% IN PLACE. Waiting for the final decisions. He is currently the CLEAR PRIORITY. @Plettigoal #mufc

So let me get this straight, Manchester United are literally APPOINTING Pochettino while Michael Carrick is out training the players? The level of disrespect has been disgusting. He should’ve been relieved of his duties a long time ago. Can’t even do a sacking right.

🚨🎖️| Several people at the club believe that the WORK over the summer transfer window should have been DIFFERENT in terms of the number of players added to the squad. #mufc [@FabrizioRomano]

🚨 Manchester United United explored moves for Unai Emery and Fabian Hurzeler. Both are not available. [@David_Ornstein]#mufc

🚨🎙️ | @David_Ornstein: “#mufc is the apple of Mauricio Pochettino's eye. He will ADAPT to what they've got set up. “He will take to it with vigour that you would imagine is in keeping with it being almost the culmination of his career to date…” [@TOTDevils]#mufc

🚨 JUST IN: Mauricio Pochettino’s $10m release clause is available and Man United are working on it + contract terms with his camp. #MUFC [@FabrizioRomano]

At around the time The Athletic broke the news that Manchester United were finalising their approach for Mauricio Pochettino to be their next manager, their current manager was arriving to take training. On Wednesday Michael Carrick will, as he did on Tuesday, go through the motions of overseeing a session that involves the few United players not on international duty, existing in the liminal space between employment and dismissal, floating through life but knowing the phone is going to ring soon. He may well have to do it again on Thursday. It’s not a dignified existence. He knows the end is near. We know the end is near. But more importantly Jim Ratcliffe, Jason Wilcox, Omar Berrada and whoever else chips in with these things at United or INEOS, all know the end is near. But this is Manchester United, the club that somehow always manages to get things wrong. The club that want to appoint Pochettino, a man currently in an international job, so have chosen an international break to make their move for him, one of the only fortnights of the year when they know he is definitely busy. One thing is for sure, Manchester United have treated Michael Carrick dreadfully, the latest in a long line of terrible decisions from a shambolic football club. 📝 @NickMiller79 #mufc
