Mauricio Pochettino has been confirmed as Manchester United's new head coach, with the 54-year-old set to begin work at Old Trafford next week.
United have paid more than £7 million to activate a release clause in the Argentine's contract with the United States national team. He will oversee two Concacaf Nations League games against Haiti before departing for Manchester.
First game against Liverpool
Pochettino's first game in charge will be against Liverpool a week on Sunday, and his first task will be to steer United clear of the bottom three. Under Michael Carrick, United have won just one of their opening 10 games of the Premier League season and sit 18th in the table.
Pochettino has Premier League experience having managed Southampton, Tottenham and Chelsea and will hope for an improvement from an underperforming United squad.
Challenges ahead
The Reds are already out of the Carabao Cup and are 17th in the Champions League standings after four games. The task of turning United into a side that can compete for honours is a daunting one, but the question remains whether Pochettino is the man to do it.
