When Mauricio Pochettino will start work as Man United head coach as USA decision made

Pochettino will finish his USA commitments with the Concacaf Nations League quarter-final against Haiti before starting at Manchester United on Thursday, November 19.

Mauricio Pochettino is set to take charge of both legs of the USA's Concacaf Nations League quarter-final with Haiti before beginning his role as Manchester United head coach. The 54-year-old will manage the second leg in Cincinnati in the early hours of Wednesday, November 17, before travelling to Manchester. He is expected to arrive later that day and begin work at Carrington on Thursday, November 19.

This gives Pochettino just three days to work with his players before United's first match under his management, a trip to Anfield to face Liverpool on Sunday, November 22. United have agreed personal terms with Pochettino and have a framework agreement in place with US Soccer to allow him to complete his commitments with the national team.

The first leg of the Nations League quarter-final takes place at 9.30pm UK time on Saturday night in Kingston, Jamaica.
