Resolution criteria

Resolves YES if Manchester United announces Mauricio Pochettino as the club's next permanent men's first-team manager or head coach following Michael Carrick's departure.

Resolves NO if Manchester United announces another person as the permanent manager/head coach to succeed Michael Carrick.

Temporary internal caretakers taking charge of training or individual fixtures strictly on an emergency interim basis prior to an official permanent appointment will not trigger a NO resolution unless another manager is contracted for the role.

The primary resolution source will be official announcements from Manchester United.
