Pochettino set for Manchester United role with January spending planned

Mauricio Pochettino is expected to take charge of Manchester United after the club agreed all the details of his appointment.

The Argentine will replace Michael Carrick, whose dismissal was announced on Thursday. The change comes with United 18th in the Premier League, having collected only eight points from their opening 10 matches.

According to journalist James Ducker, United’s board will provide Pochettino with funds to strengthen the squad during the winter transfer window.

The club believes the managerial change can help the team challenge for a place in European competition.
