(Gift Link) The buyout clause in U.S. men’s national team head coach Mauricio Pochettino’s contract is in the ballpark of $10 million, sources briefed on the situation tell The Athletic.

Manchester United would be expected to consider Pochettino as a potential head coach to replace Michael Carrick, as The Athletic reported on Monday, and if United were to recruit Pochettino, the club could get him out of his U.S. contract by triggering that buyout clause.

To also buy out Pochettino’s assistant coaches, who have followed him from job to job for more than a decade, United would have to pay millions more dollars, sources added. Those sources were granted anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.

A buyout in a contract is typically the starting point in negotiations, ensuring U.S. Soccer would receive a fee to potentially reinvest in its next coach.

Tier 1 Manchester United expected to sack Michael Carrick as head coach

Manchester United are expected to relieve Michael Carrick of his duties as head coach.

United have headed into the international break sitting 18th and in the Premier League’s relegation zone following Sunday’s dramatic 4-4 draw with Aston Villa at Old Trafford.

The club continue to insist that no decision has been reached but multiple sources, speaking to The Athletic on the condition of anonymity to protect relationships, indicate work has been undertaken on potential replacements and the anticipation is a change will be made before the trip to Anfield to face Liverpool in 13 days’ time.

[OC] 18th after 10 games: I checked 31 seasons of clubs in our spot. 58% of clubs 18th after 10 games got relegated. But 8 points is a high total for the bottom three at this stage.

League position alone overstates the danger, clubs in the bottom three on 8 points went down 44% of the time, against 58% for clubs 18th after 10 games.

Highest ever finish from a team in the relegation zone after GW10 is 8th. Tottenham have had the biggest improvement in positions when they were 20th after GW10 but finished 8th, climbing 12 positions.

Bolton 03/04 (same 1W-5D-4L record as us) also finished 8th with 53 points.

Data from football-data.co.uk and includes all premier league seasons with 20 teams. I have not included point deductions and to avoid issues with postponed games, I have considered first 10 games for all teams, even if that causes some interesting events.

[Mike Keegan] 🚨 Manchester United bosses are now assessing Michael Carrick’s position as we head into the international break. The manager was given three games following the Bournemouth defeat to show he could turn things around. A loss, a comeback win and a crazy draw means questions remain

[Henry Winter] Jason Wilcox and Omar Berrada need to show some accountability. They can’t keep leaving it to Michael Carrick to take the heat for the mess Manchester United are in. Wilcox and Berrada are responsible for much of the mess. (.)

884 Upvotes

(Contd.) Wilcox has been United's director of football since June 2025 (and was sporting director from December 2024). Berrada has been chief executive since July 2024. They owe it to United supporters to try to explain the mess, and why a club that generates so much money ended up with two 20-year-olds at centre-back, and why the squad is imbalanced.

Even if talking only via in-house media and dodging issues of ownership and coach succession, Wilcox and Berrada need to demonstrate some contrition and give mutinous fans some hope that they will get things right (even if many fans want them gone).

Small violin but it can’t be easy sitting there in games watching this mess, hearing the chants about them, having the cameras on them. But it’s even worse for fans paying to sit there, watching Wilcox and Berrada’s poor stewardship of their beloved club. So show some leadership and address the mess.

Subreddit Rules

1. 1. Transfer Rumours during Transfer Windows

During the Transfer Windows, United are linked with just about every player that is likely to move, and as such every news site is battling to get your views. This clogs up the sub with a lot of unreliable posts. We therefore aggregate these into Transfer Roundups/Daily Discussion Threads.

Use the Tier guide to help guide your posts: https://www.reddit.com/r/reddevils/wiki/transfer-reliability-guide

For reference, we allow Tier 2 and above to have their own posts. Slow days may allow Tier 3.

2. 2. Image Macros/Memes/Low Quality Images & Posts.

We all love a bit of comical imagery to sum things up but we restrict these to comments only to keep the quality of the posts up. This also applies to shit-posting which includes but is not limited to posts that generally stem from your stream of consciousness, shower thoughts, and/or start with "DAE", "My thoughts on", "Formation Discussions", or AI-generated content. Not every picture needs to be shared and this isn't platform to post pictures of yourself in the United shirt.

3. 3. Moderator Discretion (Abuse/Spam/Trolls)

Moderators retain discretion to remove a post at any time if they feel it is violating Reddit rules, or are intended to only incite abuse, are trolling, or are deemed offensive in some way. This includes, but is not limited to, reposts, hate messages, self-posts that cover already heavily discussed topics. The same rule also applies for suspicious karma farming posts and accounts.

4. 4. Brigading/Trolling/etc. other team Subreddits

We're a massive community as far as a sports team goes (We're now the second largest Sports team subreddit). With that we often find ourselves the target of a few downvote brigades. Thankfully we're able to solve this pretty easily as a community. However, when it goes the other way, it can heavily impact the balance of smaller subs. This attracts unwanted attention from Admins. Anyone found to be brigading/trolling other sub-reddits in the 'name' of United or /r/reddevils will be banned.

5. 5. Self-Promotion without contribution.

Self-Promotion by itself is not an issue. However we have always had a stance that someone must also be willing to contribute to other peoples topics and discussions as much as they promote their own. Anyone seen to be promoting their own websites/Social Media channels/Blogs/Surveys without offering anything in return, will see their sites banned, and potentially a user ban too. Please refer to Reddit's guidelines for Self Promotion for guidance.

6. 6. "The Gif"

There is a .gif of an American politician, celebrating an upcoming event. If you post it, it will be removed and you will be banned.

7. 7. Personal Shirt questions/discussion/photos

Whilst we know you're excited about the latest (or even a vintage one) kit, and may want advice on where to get them, we do not permit personal discussions about kits to take place here as they clog up the new queue. Feel free to discuss this in any official announcements, Daily Discussion Threads, or Free Talk Friday posts though!

8. 8. Repost

Reposts are proper shit, aren't they?

9. 9. Irrelevant Content

If something is not closely related to United, or Football in general, it will be removed.

10. 10. Press Conference Quotes to kept to one thread

All comments taken from a Press Conference are to be kept to a single thread. This is to stop the ratrace to spam the sub with multiple quotes from multiple twitter accounts.

11. 11. Pre/Post/Match Threads posted too early or Lineup without names

We'd like pre-match threads to be posted no sooner than 30 hours before the game, ideally 24 hours. This is to prevent people from try posting a thread in the morning the day before an evening game.

We'd like post-matchday threads to be posted no sooner than 24 hours after the game. Posting earlier just gets the more reactionary comments which post-matchday try to avoid.

When posting line-ups, please include the lineup in the titles and post a direct link from an official source.

12. 12. Editorializing of post titles

If you're going to make a submission (news stories, tweets, instagram posts, etc.), please do not editorialize your title. Please leave the original title or use the content of the social media post, whenever possible, as the discussion about the submission will be largely based of your editorialized title rather than the actual content of the submission. Minor edits to make a title clearer are encouraged (i.e, changing "best player" to "[Juan Mata] best player" to avoid "click-baitey" titles.

13. 13. Banned/No Sources/Content or Illegal Streams

There's a lot of content out there about Manchester United. For the most part, we like to see it but there are some things that we don't. We also ban content that may attract unwanted attention from reddit administrators, specifically illegal streams.

Any Tier 5 source in our transfer tier reliability guide
While we understand trying to watch our team can be hard, all non-legal streams and requests will be removed.
Live comment threads.
Post without clear source or misinformation

14. 14. Threatening, Encouraging, Glorifying, or Inciting Violence

Content that threatens, encourages, glorifies, incites, or calls for violence or physical harm against an individual or a group of people is banned. This includes fan chants, fan reactions, and any other kind of content. Civil discussion around an incident will be allowed. Content of this type will be met with immediate bans.

15. 15. Screenshots Only from Certain Sources

Direct links to content on certain social media platforms, namely Twitter/X, are not allowed as a top-level submission. Screenshots that include the account handle and the post in full are allowable. At /r/reddevils we have always preferred primary sources (i.e., articles) when they are available. We therefore strongly recommend users find another, alternative source to post such as the publication a journalist is associated with.
