Concacaf Nations LeagueHaiti 0 – 6 United States FTThe United States are three-time Concacaf Nations League winners [Reuters]Mauricio Pochettino guided the United States to a thumping 6-0 win over Haiti in his penultimate game in charge.The former Tottenham manager only signed a new four-year deal with the USA in the summer but has agreed a two-and-a-half-year contract to replace Michael Carrick at Old Trafford.He will return to the Premier League next week after Tuesday’s Nations League quarter-final second leg with Haiti.And five second-half goals in Miami, including two from AC Milan winger Christian Pulisic, have made that match a formality.Pochettino praised his players for not allowing his impending departure to become a distraction.”I think we have an amazing future, brilliant future in this country with the national team,” Pochettino said.”I think if we want to go for big things, the structure and principles are here now and it’s only continuing.”The players were very, very professional from day one when they started to see all the rumours and then when we confirmed it a few days ago.”If you say to me, what we feel proud of, we feel so proud of the players and how they managed the situation in a mature way.”In the last two years, the kids, the young kids that appear, you can see how they play very relaxed because of what the experienced players provide, that platform to perform.”Folarin Balogun, the Monaco striker who almost joined Everton on transfer deadline day and who has been linked with a move to United himself, came off the bench to score the sixth goal of the night.He added: “The manager is an amazing guy, an amazing coach.”It’s always disappointing when a top coach leaves. But it’s part of the game, it’s part of the business.”I wish him the best in United. We have to build on the foundation he set. You’ve seen the intensity, the togetherness since he’s been in charge, and as his players we have a job to carry that on.”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.His first match in charge will be an away match against Liverpool on 22 November.
