Man Utd announce new manager after Carrick exit

Manchester United have formally confirmed the arrival of manager Mauricio Pochettino following Michael Carrick's exit.

The Red Devils recently parted ways with Carrick following a dismal start to the Premier League campaign that sees the club in the relegation zone.

Pochettino has now been appointed as the successor, and he will officially link up with the club after managing the USA during the international break.

The Argentine comes with a big reputation from his time at Tottenham Hotspur, where he guided them all the way to the Champions League final.

Spurs also qualified for the Champions League in four straight seasons, and he will be aiming to propel United out of the drop zone in the coming weeks.

United are currently languishing in the bottom three with just eight points in 10 matches, which is their worst start to a league campaign in 40 years.

The Red Devils face arch-rivals Liverpool on the road later this month. Pochettino has a tough assignment on Merseyside to start with.
