Manchester United have appointed Mauricio Pochettino as the new manager to replace the sacked Michael Carrick , as the Premier League giants sit in the relegation zone after their worst start to a league campaign in 40 years. Pochettino will lead the United States national team in their upcoming matches against Haiti before joining Man United, US Soccer said on Friday.
“The club has reached an agreement with the US Soccer Federation for Mauricio and his staff to be released after the conclusion of their responsibilities with the US Men’s National Team,” United said in a statement. Pochettino, a former Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, Tottenham Hotspur and Southampton manager, was the favourite for the managerial role at Old Trafford ever since rumours about Carrick’s departure hit the headlines.
The 54-year-old arrives at Old Trafford with United having earned one win and eight points from 10 Premier League games. They are 18th in the standings, one point above bottom side Crystal Palace.
