Summary
Pochettino agreed to take over after the international break and is expected to sign through summer 2029, with a formal Manchester United announcement due Friday.
£7 million was needed to free him from his USA contract, and he will remain with the national team through games against Haiti before heading to Old Trafford.
Carrick was sacked Thursday after United slipped into the Premier League relegation zone, having managed only one win in 10 league matches and three wins in 15 games this season.
November 22 will bring Pochettino's first match — away to Liverpool — as he becomes United's eighth permanent manager since Alex Ferguson retired in 2013.
United's hierarchy ratified the change at a Monaco summit, but Gary Neville said the club's deeper problems in recruitment, leadership and performance operations will outlast another managerial switch.
