Mauricio Pochettino is expected to start work as Manchester United head coach next Thursday, leaving him just three days on the training ground before his first game in charge at Anfield. The 54-year-old will take the United States through both legs of their CONCACAF Nations League quarter-final against Haiti before flying to Manchester to replace the sacked Michael Carrick.

Harry Maguire has told Michael Carrick he will "always be a legend" after Manchester United sacked their head coach on Thursday morning. United sit 18th in the Premier League with just eight points from their first 10 matches, their worst start to a domestic campaign in 40 years, and Mauricio Pochettino is now set to take over in the Old Trafford dugout.

Alan Shearer has named Ezri Konsa as the Premier League's player of the season so far, insisting the Arsenal summer signing has been so good that nobody has even noticed William Saliba's absence. The England defender has been an ever-present for Mikel Arteta's league leaders, and Saliba's looming return from a back injury now leaves the Gunners with a big selection call.

Liverpool have found themselves at the centre of a heated dispute regarding the fitness of Dominik Szoboszlai following a controversial incident in their recent victory over Crystal Palace. Despite visible discomfort and a heavily bandaged knee, the midfielder was allowed to continue playing at Selhurst Park, sparking fury from observers in his homeland.
