Manchester United have confirmed Mauricio Pochettino as their new head coach, bringing an end to the search for a permanent manager following the departure of Michael Carrick.

The Argentine tactician steps into one of the most storied roles in English football, taking charge of a club with a global following and fierce expectations from its fanbase.

Pochettino arrives with a wealth of top-level managerial experience, having previously guided clubs to deep runs in major European competitions. His appointment signals United's intent to restore the club to the summit of English and continental football.

The move ends speculation over who would take the reins at Old Trafford, with Pochettino now tasked with reshaping the squad and rebuilding momentum at the Premier League giants.
