Manchester United have officially appointed Argentine manager Mauricio Pochettino as their new head coach on a two-and-a-half-year contract, replacing Michael Carrick. Pochettino will take charge from November 18 after completing his responsibilities with the United States men's national team. The appointment follows United's disappointing start to the 2026–27 Premier League season, with the club sitting 18th in the relegation zone after collecting just eight points from 10 matches. Pochettino, formerly of Tottenham, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain, faces the immediate challenge of reviving United's performances. His first major test is against Liverpool on November 22.
