Manchester United’s decision to change manager comes with the club 18th in the Premier League and inside the relegation zone.

The club announced on Friday that Mauricio Pochettino will take charge next week, with the team’s results having failed to meet expectations.

According to statistics providers Opta, Pochettino will become the 12th manager to lead Manchester United since the end of Alex Ferguson’s era, beginning with the 2013-14 season.

Only two Premier League clubs have had more managers during that period.

Crystal Palace have appointed 13, including the search for a replacement for Pierre Sage, while Chelsea have had 14.

Pochettino’s arrival will therefore continue a period of significant managerial change at Manchester United since Ferguson’s departure.
