Even before Manchester United announced that Michael Carrick had been sacked, there was talk in the football world that Mauricio Pochettino had agreed a deal with the club.

Now Manchester United says on its website that Argentine Pochettino will take charge on November 18.

Pochettino most recently coached the United States national team and has previously managed Tottenham, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain.

Manchester United have made a disastrous start to the Premier League season and are in the relegation zone after ten rounds, with just eight points.

Since the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson left Manchester United in 2013 after 27 years in charge, the club has had eleven different managers.
