Celtic duo Auston Trusty could find themselves working with a new manager due to developments down South.
Trusty has been a staple for his national team, USMNT, and played at their partly home World Cup over the summer. Head coach Mauricio Pochettino has routinely called up the Celtic star for international duty, albeit he has not often been one of the starting pair in competitive games.
Carter-Vickers has had a tougher time of things under the former Tottenham boss. CCV has only made one appearance to date under Pochettino, which came against Canada back in March of 2025.
Carter-Vickers can feel pretty hard done by after missing out on a call-up in each of the two international windows this season, given how consistent he has been for Celtic. Mind you, he has missed time with injury over recent weeks, so that might explain his absence for this particular window.
In any case, there is now talk that Pochettino could be on his way out after a solid World Cup. The former Tottenham boss actually renewed his commitment to US Soccer after the World Cup, signing a new contract in August, which surprised many, given he is always a sought-after name for top clubs in managerial searches.
But Sky Sports are now reporting that, with Manchester United set to sack Michael Carrick after an awful start to the season, Pochettino is open to discussing terms with the Old Trafford club.
United would have to pay around £7million to break Pochettino's contract with US Soccer, due to the existence of a $10million break clause.
That would be a huge grab for United, who have been calling out for an experienced hand to fix their long-running issues that seem to stem from poor management at the top of the club.
But it would mean a new boss for USMNT, and indeed both Trusty and Carter-Vickers. Though it could be good news for the latter, given he has been routinely overlooked, including for the World Cup, which will have been particularly disappointing.
Trusty may see things very differently, and he is currently training with USMNT as they prepare to take on Uruguay and Paraguay in international friendlies. Trusty has been on personal leave over recent weeks following the death of his father, but he has returned to training with USMNT, which is great to see.
Representing his nation will be a nice moment for him to dedicate to his father.
