[The Athletic] The buyout clause in U.S. men’s national team head coach Mauricio Pochettino’s contract is in the ballpark of $10 million, sources briefed on the situation tell The Athletic. To also buy out Pochettino’s assistant coaches, United would have to pay millions more dollars, sources added.

moments that we need to tighten up on. Individual moments where we’re giving teams goals that we don’t normally get. If we tighten up that, there’s a lot of good in that performance. I thought we should have won the game. But conceding the gaols we are is not helping us at all.
“No goals are good goals to concede. But there are ones you can do a bit more about. There are the ones we gave away today. We have got to tighten up, it’s pretty obvious to say that. It’s giving us too much to do in games. But I thought we did a lot and feel that we should have won the game."
# Matheus Cunha
'We need to look at us'
Manchester United forward Matheus Cunha speaking to Sky Sports:
"So disappointed, after the other night we talked a lot about how not to concede goals and then change our mentality to come again. We did it again, conceded goals. We can't do that - we need to play like Man Utd and go forward and create chances, play with more courage. After we concede goals we show character but if we do this before we can win much more games."
Why conceding goals so early? "I don't know - everyone tries to get answers for that. We want to be the best and show that we can come back. We need to show the mentality to do this from the start."
On fan frustration: "Before we played everyone is a fan. You understand why they are frustrated. This is completely fine, we understand. We are on the pitch and we need to manage this. We need to change the mentality - be in the game. I don't think the fans are against us it's just that they want to see us perform and win games.
"Before anything else we need to look inside to us - the players, the staff. It's a huge club and to feel something like this [being in relegation zone\] is not normal - we need to come back. Many more things to do, we have lots more games. We need to learn from the last seasons. We can not do the same things. We're good enough to go and change our situation - fight for us, the players and staff. We only ask for the fans to keep doing what they are doing because it helps us."
# Patrick Dorgu
'We are in a bad situation'
Scorer of Manchester United's equaliser Patrick Dorgu speaking to Sky Sports:
"I don't feel happy - we are in a bad situation. We need to fight together to get out of it. Draw better than a loss but we had the better opportunities.
"Everyone needs to look at themselves and ask if they are doing enough. We need to fight for the manager, for the club and get out of this together.
"Of course it hurts [to be in relegation zone\], there's a lot of games and we need everyone to come back sharp from international break and start getting wins."
# Unai Emery
Emery on his walk-out: 'They scored in the 96th minute and the referee added six minutes on. I thought it was over. They were pushing and disturbing the keeper. In other countries and leagues they don't permit that. I am angry about the situation, not with the players.' [Chris Wheeler\]
'We have lost two points today'
Aston Villa boss Unai Emery speaking to Sky Sports:
"A very difficult match. We competed well and we struggled in the first half after our two goals. Second half we had good balance to try to win the match. Scored two more goals and when we were controlling the game in the last six minutes they scored two goals. They can do it - they did it against Roma. My analysis is that overall we have lost a good opportunity to win the match.
"We have young talented players, we need to get this mix. We are being demanding to play at this level. United showed their level. We must continue working, move on and analyse and how we can defend better and in the moment we were dominating get the better attack. We are disappointed, frustrated because in miunute 90 we are winning 2-4. We will accept the result because we have won three and drawn three in last matches and we're doing well. But today we have lost two points.
"We must be positive even in defeat because we have to continue moving on with the process."
On storming off at the end: "They scored in

minute 96 and there were six minutes added. I thought the match was finishing.
"Not unfair - they scored the goal and I thought the match was over."
'I am disappointed but we move on'
Aston Villa boss Unai Emery, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "I am disappointed but we move on. I have to analyse this match. It is very important to analyse deeply. First half, we started very good, but they were pushing. We were resilient. We tried to change. We started very well, scoring two goals again. How we lost the last six minutes at the time, conceding two goals is very frustrating. It's a process. The keeper, as well, is adapting but he still has work to do and how we have to defend when they are blocking us. In another country, maybe it's a foul but here it's not.
"We were facing Manchester United at Old Trafford today. They are getting better. How we managed in the 90 minutes, we have to continue to improve and feel confident. How can we manage the first half and how can we stop them better than we did?
On if United would come back: "They have very good players and the atmosphere is always fantastic. They were feeling good and confident and playing Champions League. They will come back again."

Post Match Quotes Carrick: "I thought we were the better team. We played some very good football and got back into the game. Two goals again put us on the back foot. In the end, we could have even won it." "If we tighten up, there are a lot of things we can take forward from the last three games"
# Michael Carrick
'We need to improve the position we're in'
Manchester United boss Michael Carrick, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "Making it hard for ourselves. Again, I thought a lot of the performances were very good. We made it challenging for ourselves. Mistakes that the boss knows shouldn't happen. We built our way back into the game and played well, we probably should score more than we did today. The goals are coming from individual mistakes. We need to tighten up.
"I thought we were the better team. We played some very good football and got back into the game. Two goals again put us on the back foot. In the end, we could have even won it.
What he was thinking at the end: "If we get one, then anything can happen. We never gave up and never stopped believing.
On Patrick Dorgu: "It's good to have him and we've been careful with how we use him. He came on and made a difference.
"We need to improve the position we're in, of course, we do. If we tighten up, there are a lot of things we can take forward from the last three games for sure."
# Carrick's responses over his future
Here is Michael Carrick's full conversation with Sky Sports' Patrick Davison about his future:
PD: What do you expect to happen over the next few weeks? You’ve been asked time and again about your future? I know you have said that you walking away was the best for the club, you’d probably do it.
MC: “It’s not going to happen, no.”
PD: What do you expect to happen? Clearly there’s going to be conversation?
MC:“Is there?
PD: You would assume so really?
MC:“Would you?”
PD: What do you think Michael?
MC:“You’re telling me, what do you think?”
PD: I’m asking you, Michael. What do you think?
MC: “You know the situation, we haven’t won enough games. But I expect to move forward with things we’ve been working on, showing a lot of the good from today tighten up a few mistakes and win some football matches.”
# Are Man Utd in a relegation fight?
Man Utd head coach Michael Carrick to Sky Sports:
“There have been too many [goals conceded\]. It’s pretty clear. We know that. It’s something we have to put right.
“I liked the character, the quality of football. I thought we had most of the game, attacked their box really well, we had a lot of shots, chances coming from a place when you’re 2-0 down and you haven’t had a good run of results.
“The boys played some really good results, pressed well. I thought a lot of it was where we’d want it. It doesn’t look like that now because the goals go in and make a difference in games. If you look at it from an overall perspective, there’s a lot of character in the boys.
On fan unrest and the jeering of Dalot: “The fans are right behind the players. You’ve seen that, it’s pretty obvious, they’re right behind the players. They are desperate to get behind us and for us to give them something to go on and shout about. There’s frustration and disappointment at times, we all feel that. But they are right behind the boys and were at the final whistle as well.
Is this a relegation fight? “We’re in November. I don’t like this situation where we are and where we’re at. But we can do something about it."
# Carrick: We should have won the game
Man Utd head coach Michael Carrick to Sky Sports:
“Disappointed that we haven’t won the game. We looked the better team for long parts of it and we’re making it difficult for ourselves with the gaols that we’re giving away. We’re not just giving away one, it’s two in succession that put us in such a difficult position.
“We did it the other night, we did it again today and have come back into the game and had a lot of the game, could have won it at the end. Disappointed we haven’t won the game.
