Manchester United offered the opportunity Mauricio Pochettino couldn't refuse. His tears revealed what leaving the USMNT would cost him.

Mauricio Pochettino could not hide his emotions during a heartfelt farewell to the United States national team, breaking down in tears just moments after being confirmed as the new Manchester United manager. The Argentine has agreed to a two-and-a-half-year deal at Old Trafford, marking a stunning return to the Premier League as the successor to Michael Carrick.

The 24-year-old playmaker now finds himself at Strasbourg in France, with the hope being that stability and consistency can be found by an enigmatic talent that remains “exceptionally good”.
