Mauricio Pochettino says the decision to leave his role as boss of the USA national team to become Manchester United head coach was "one of the most difficult" of his career.
The Argentine was announced as Michael Carrick's successor at Old Trafford on Friday, with sources telling BBC Sport he has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract.
United paid a release clause in the region of £7.4m to extract Pochettino from his USA contract, with a further payment being made for his backroom staff.
