Pochettino Set to Lead Man United

Mauricio Pochettino is widely anticipated to be officially appointed as Manchester United's next manager. The confirmation is expected soon, potentially as early as Friday. His arrival follows the dismissal of Michael Carrick, whose tenure concluded after a difficult run of results.

Pochettino is set to sign a contract extension that will keep him at Old Trafford until the conclusion of the 2028/29 season. This new agreement represents a two-and-a-half-year deal. However, before he can fully immerse himself in his new role, Pochettino will first lead the United States men's national team (USMNT) for their upcoming CONCACAF Nations League quarterfinal matches against Haiti on November 14 and November 17.

Following his international duties, Pochettino will then travel to Manchester to commence his managerial responsibilities with United. His first match in charge is expected to be a high-stakes fixture against fierce rivals Liverpool at Anfield on November 22. Details regarding his exact salary are yet to be widely reported, but it is presumed to be an increase from his current earnings.
