Folarin Balogun’s camp has made the first move. TEAMtalk reports his representatives have informed Manchester United that Mauricio Pochettino’s reported appointment makes Old Trafford “somewhat” more appealing, that the camp is keen to explore the move, and that Monaco are open to a January sale.
Two cautions belong up front. Pochettino’s appointment is reported, not announced: United have confirmed only Michael Carrick’s departure , and the agreement reporting has not been confirmed by either club or by U.S. Soccer.
And there are no club-to-club talks. TEAMtalk’s headline says “in talks”; its own reporting describes representatives informing United, which is an Approach, not Negotiations. No bid, fee or agreement is reported.
