United States men's national team head coach Mauricio Pochettino will leave his post and become Manchester United manager, it was announced on Friday.

Just over 24 hours after United sacked Michael Carrick, the club already has a new manager on the way. Pochettino will manage the USMNT's upcoming Concacaf Nations League games against Haiti, and his first game in charge at United will be at arch-rivals Liverpool on Nov. 22.

It means Pochettino, who has previously enjoyed coaching spells at Tottenham Hotspur, Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea, is back in the Premier League.
