Mauricio Pochettino has agreed a two-and-a-half year deal to become Manchester United manager, succeeding Michael Carrick. The 54-year-old returns to England after leading the United States to the last 16 of the World Cup in his most recent role.
Pochettino brings significant Premier League experience, having previously managed Southampton, Spurs, and Chelsea. His tactical approach has often featured a 4-2-3-1 formation, emphasising high pressing and intensity out of possession, as seen during his tenures at Southampton and Spurs.
However, Pochettino has also shown adaptability, moving away from high-pressing tactics at Paris Saint-Germain to accommodate star players and switching between formations with the USA national team. At Manchester United, his team is initially expected to resemble Carrick's 4-2-3-1 setup, though adjustments are anticipated.
