Mauricio Pochettino is set to start his tenure as Manchester United's head coach next Thursday, with only three days to prepare his squad before their crucial match against Liverpool at Anfield. The 54-year-old Argentine will oversee both legs of the United States' CONCACAF Nations League quarter-final against Haiti before traveling to Manchester to take over from sacked manager Michael Carrick.
Pochettino's first game in charge at Old Trafford comes after United are currently in the relegation zone and 17th in the Champions League table. The Argentine, who has won 21 of his 35 matches as USMNT boss, will also bring several members of his backroom staff with him to Carrington. Pochettino will address the media at the US training base near Atlanta on Friday, 2.15pm (UK time), before the first leg of the Haiti match at 9.30pm on Saturday.
