Mauricio Pochettino has been confirmed as Man United's new head coach

Mauricio Pochettino is Manchester United's new manager with the 54-year-old to start work at Old Trafford next week.

United have paid more than £7million to activate a release clause in the Argentine's contract with the United States national team and he will oversee two Concacaf Nations League games against Haiti before departing for Manchester.

Pochettino's first game in charge will be a game against Liverpool a week on Sunday and his first task will be to steer United clear of the bottom three. Under Michael Carrick, United have won just one of their opening 10 games of the Premier League season and sit 18th in the table.

Pochettino has Premier League experience having managed Southampton, Tottenham and Chelsea and will hope for an improvement from an underperforming United squad.

The Reds are already out of the Carabao Cup and are 17th in the Champions League standings after four games.
