Manchester United have announced that the club have agreed a deal for Mauricio Pochettino to become the club’s new manager.
Pochettino will officially take charge at Old Trafford on November 18th, following the United States’ Concacaf Nations League fixtures against Haiti. United have agreed to pay the release clause in Pochettino’s contract with the US national team.
The ex-Chelsea and Tottenham manager will return to the Premier League to replace Michael Carrick. He will take charge for the first time when United – currently in the Premier League’s relegation places – face Liverpool at Anfield next Sunday.
The Red Devils have won one of their opening 10 games of the 2026/27 Premier League season and are 18th, just a point above Crystal Palace at the bottom of the table.
United have released a statement confirming the deal, and praised Pochettino as a coach who has ‘consistently performed at the highest level of football across multiple leagues’.
No information has been released on the length of contract that the 54-year-old has signed with the Premier League side.
