Manchester United: Sir Alex Ferguson has already approved of Mauricio Pochettino as talks planned

However, the Argentine has not yet officially started work at Old Trafford.The first of which took place on Saturday evening with USA recording a 6-0 win to put one foot in the CONCACAF Nations League finals.Following Pochettino’s penultimate game in charge of USA, he spoke to the Telegraph and was asked if he can spoken to Ferguson since accepting the Man United job.“Not yet, but for sure I will have the opportunity after Tuesday,” the 54-year-old said.“I said many years ago and always I say the same – for me, Sir Alex Ferguson represents everything that I admire from a coach, a head coach, a man, a manager and I think he represents my values. I really admire him.“For sure, from Tuesday, we will have the possibility to talk – if I will have time because it’s going to be very intense. But if there’s the possibility to talk, then of course I will do that.”Mauricio Pochettino will begin work as Manchester United head coach next weekGettyPochettino and Ferguson have remained in close contact since first dining with each other in 2016.They first crossed paths in the dugout during the 2012-13 season when Man United beat Southampton at Old Trafford, though Pochettino left a lasting impression on Ferguson despite the defeat."For the first 30 minutes we were fantastic," Ferguson told BBC Sport in January 2013. "But in the second half Southampton have been the best team to play here this season. We were fortunate to win."Then in 2016, David Lammy, MP for Tottenham, shared details of a meeting with Ferguson at a charity function."I’m going to let you in to a secret," Lammy told The Spurs Show podcast. "About six weeks ago I sat next to Alex Ferguson at a dinner in support of grassroots football abroad."He said to me, 'I think you guys have the best manager in the Premier League.' Alex Ferguson said that."
