What will be Pochettino’s first game in charge at Manchester United?

What will be Pochettino’s first game in charge at Manchester United?

Mauricio Pochettino is set to become the next Manchester United coach, with an announcement expected on Friday. He will assume his duties ahead of the team's match against Liverpool on November 22, after completing his international obligations with the USMNT. Pochettino is reportedly on the verge of signing a two-and-a-half-year deal at Old Trafford.

The decision to replace Michael Carrick comes after a meeting in Monaco, with the club's board ratifying the move. Pochettino, who has previously coached Tottenham, Chelsea, and Paris Saint-Germain, is expected to return to Manchester United's Carrington headquarters by November 19, four days before the Liverpool game. However, some critics, including Gary Neville, argue that simply changing managers is not the solution to the club's issues, citing a long list of unsuccessful managers who have come and gone.
