Pineto Overview

Manchester United have officially confirmed the appointment of Mauricio Pochettino as their new head coach following the dismissal of Michael Carrick. The former Tottenham and Chelsea boss will leave his role with the USMNT to take the reins at Old Trafford later this month.

Jamie Carragher has offered a scathing assessment of Michael Carrick’s tenure at Manchester United, insisting he feels no sympathy for the recently dismissed coach. The Red Devils confirmed Carrick's departure on Thursday after a dismal run of form left the club languishing in the Premier League relegation zone.

James Milner is set to make an emotional return to Anfield after being confirmed as the first participant for the upcoming Liverpool Legends charity fixture. The versatile midfielder, who called time on his illustrious playing career at the end of the 2025-26 season, will once again represent the club where he enjoyed his most successful years.

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.
