Mauricio Pochettino is set to assume control at Old Trafford on 18 November, replacing Michael Carrick. The former Tottenham manager has finalized a contract with Manchester United that runs until June 2029.
Known for his intense, no-nonsense leadership style, Pochettino arrives with a reputation for prioritizing physical conditioning. His methods involve rigorous pre-season training sessions and a demanding, fitness-focused approach that challenges both players and staff.
Toby Alderweireld, who played under the Argentine for four years at Tottenham, provides a firsthand perspective on what to expect. During that tenure, the duo reached a Champions League final and achieved a second-place finish in the Premier League.
