Incoming Manchester United manager Mauricio Pochettino is expected to receive substantial financial support when the January transfer window opens, according to Sky Sports reporter Rob Dorsett.

Pochettino is set to take charge of one of English football's most storied clubs, and those close to the situation suggest he will not be left short of resources to reshape the squad during the winter market.

Dorsett outlined why the Argentine coach could oversee a flurry of activity in January, with Manchester United's hierarchy apparently keen to give the new manager the tools he needs to stabilise and rebuild the club's fortunes as quickly as possible.

The anticipated backing signals a significant commitment from the club's ownership as Manchester United look to arrest a difficult period that has seen their on-field performances fall well below expectations.
