The club have made contact with Pochettino, currently in charge of the United States national team, and he looks set to be confirmed ahead of the crunch tie with Liverpool at Anfield on 22 November.\n\nIt is a move that has apparently been years in the making. United first considered Pochettino for the job back in 2016 and have circled back to him repeatedly in the years since, finally landing on him now.\n\nThe appointment has already drawn praise from players who worked under him at his previous clubs, which include Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain. Ballon d'Or winner Harry Kane, who played for Pochettino at Spurs, said he could not speak highly enough of him and credited the manager with playing a big role in his development. Former Tottenham centre-back Toby Alderweireld also spoke highly of the incoming United boss.\n\nAttention will now turn to who could join Pochettino's backroom staff and how quickly he can turn results around at Old Trafford, starting with that trip to Anfield.","published_at":"2026-11-12T23:34:08.509064+00:00","source_count":4,"written_from":[{"outlet":"CBS Sports","publisher":"CBS Sports","title":"With Manchester United set to hire Mauricio Pochettino, what other managers are available?","url":"https://www.cbssports.com/soccer/news/manchester-united-mauricio-pochettino-available-managers/"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"“Make some stars”: Former Premier League star gives exciting prediction for Mauricio Pochettino at Man United","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/stars-former-premier-league-star-063000848.html"},{"outlet":"The Athletic","publisher":"The Athletic","title":"Mauricio Pochettino, Manchester United and a move 10 years in the making","url":"https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7773449/2026/11/12/manchester-united-mauricio-pochettino-coach-ferguson/"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Pochettino a decade in Man Utd's making - but Carrick deserves better","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/pochettino-decade-man-utds-making-125822708.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"What is top of Mauricio Pochettino’s to-do list at Man Utd?
