Mauricio Pochettino is walking straight into one of the toughest challenges of his Manchester United career, and the destination is none other than Anfield! 😭👀
The Argentine has a complicated history against Liverpool, particularly when playing at their famous home ground. Across eight Premier League visits to Anfield, Pochettino has managed just ONE victory, alongside two draws and five defeats. 😬
His previous Anfield record includes:
❌ Liverpool 4-1 Chelsea
🤝 Liverpool 2-2 Tottenham
❌ Liverpool 2-0 Tottenham
❌ Liverpool 2-1 Tottenham (EFL Cup)
🤝 Liverpool 1-1 Tottenham
❌ Liverpool 3-2 Tottenham
But here’s the interesting twist! 👀 Pochettino has actually beaten Liverpool at Anfield before. Back in September 2013, his Southampton side stunned Liverpool with a 1-0 victory. And who was part of that Southampton team? A young Luke Shaw, who is now a Manchester United player! 😳🔥
Now history is bringing the two men back together, this time wearing the same Manchester United colours.
Pochettino has officially been appointed United’s new manager following Michael Carrick’s dismissal, and his first assignment will be against Liverpool on November 22.
The pressure is enormous. United are struggling in the Premier League, and Pochettino will have very little preparation time before facing their fiercest rivals. He must quickly find solutions, organise his defence and give the team a new identity. 🔴
Interestingly, Pochettino has never lost his first competitive match at a new club, recording two wins and four draws across his six previous managerial debuts. Could that record provide another reason for United supporters to believe? 👀
Liverpool will certainly be eager to welcome their new visitor, but Pochettino will be desperate to make a statement.
Can Pochettino repeat his Southampton miracle and conquer Anfield with Manchester United, or will Liverpool ruin his big debut? 😮💨🔥
