Manchester United has reportedly reached a “verbal agreement in principle” with Mauricio Pochettino to replace Michael Carrick as its manager in a bid to revive the fortunes of the struggling English giant.

He remains in post but it is believed Carrick’s future will be decided at a meeting attended by influential shareholder Jim Ratcliffe, chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox in Monaco on Wednesday.
