Pochettino to take over at Manchester United; Grealish apologises to Everton fans: football – live

Mauricio Pochettino has been appointed Manchester United head coach, taking charge of a club described by former manager Harry Redknapp as being in a “real mess”. Redknapp believes United can improve under Pochettino, but expects it to take time before they return to the level supporters expect.

Jamie Redknapp called Pochettino an elite manager, while questioning whether United’s senior leadership can retain its positions under the new regime. He warned that the club’s poor running in recent years could make the job difficult, and suggested Pochettino may soon question his decision to take it.
