New Manchester United manager, Mauricio Pochettino, has spoken for the first time since he was officially announced.

Addressing reporters before the USA's game against Haiti, Pochettino broke down in tears as he confirmed his exit.

The 54-year-old admitted that he could not turn down the United job.

"It's difficult to talk now. I'm a very emotional guy.

"It's a very sad decision; it’s the most difficult decision of my career.

“But we are professionals, and we are trying to make our dreams come true.

“Yes, I had signed a new deal until 2030 but the Federation know not so many opportunities appear in your life like Manchester United.

“You can’t turn it down."

Pochettino has agreed a two-and-a-half-year contract to replace Michael Carrick.
