\n\nPochettino will assume the new role on Wednesday after overseeing the USA's fixtures against Haiti. According to reports, his deal with United will last until 2029.
\n\nThis will mark his return to the Premier League since 2024, when he quit as Chelsea coach and assumed charge of the USMNT.
\n\nFor Pochettino, Manchester United will be his fourth Premier League club, having previously managed Southampton (2013-2014), Tottenham Hotspur (2014-2019) and Chelsea (2023-2024).
\n\nPochettino will meet Manchester United players on Thursday and take his seat in the dugout for the club's match against Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday, November 22.
\n\nAccording to Sky Sports, United will pay around £7.4 million to buy Pochettino out of his newly signed contract with the USA.
\n\nIn a statement, Man Utd underscored the Argentinian's reputation for his "high-intensity, attacking style of football, his dedication to building strong, cohesive teams and his outstanding record of developing individual players".
