Man Utd news LIVE: Pochettino contract details leaked with announcement imminent

The arrival of Mauricio Pochettino is set to be imminently announced by Manchester United. He will become the fourth permanent boss since Sir Jim Ratcliffe purchased his minority stake of the club in 2024.

Barring any dramatic developments in the eleventh hour, Pochettino will replace Michael Carrick, who was sacked only a matter of months after being promoted from interim manager to permanent head coach. United took a long time to make their decision on Carrick, but after not being convinced by other candidates such as Julian Nagelsmann, Eddie Howe and Antonio Conte, they have decided Pochettino is their choice.

The Argentine still has two matches to fulfil as manager of the United States - a two-legged CONCACAF Nations League quarter-final tie against Haiti - but after that, he is expected to be in charge when United face Liverpool at Anfield after the international break.

Mauricio Pochettino is not yet the new head coach of Manchester United. He is still in charge of the United States of America, even if he's expected to move to Old Trafford soon.

Manchester United are hoping Marcus Rashford will be fit in time for Mauricio Pochettino's first match as manager.

After the international break, the Argentine is set to be in the dugout when the Reds travel to Anfield to face Liverpool. That clash is not until November 22, meaning Rashford still has 11 days to recover.

It's understood Manchester United will need to shell out around £7.4million to buy Mauricio Pochettino out of his contract with the United States National Team.

Mauricio Pochettino is set to sign a two-and-a-half-year contract to become the next Manchester United head coach. The Argentine's deal is expected to run until 2029.
