Everton boss David Moyes and Manchester United manager Mauricio Pochettino
Everton boss David Moyes and Manchester United manager Mauricio Pochettino
The Red Devils sacked Michael Carrick and brought the Argentine back to the Premier League on Friday.
Pochettino has already managed Southampton, Tottenham and Chelsea in the English top flight.
He is now set to take over the Old Trafford side, for his fourth role in the division.
He has met with Moyes on seven occasions, with a mixed bag in terms of results.
Goodison News examines his record against the Hill Dickinson Stadium boss.
What is David Moyes' record vs Mauricio Pochettino?
Moyes has taken charge of fixtures against Pochettino with Everton, United, Sunderland and West Ham.
He has won just once, but took a share of the points four times, and lost twice.
Moyes' first clash with the Argentine was a 0-0 stalemate in his first stint as Blues boss, when Pochettino was at Southampton in January 2013.
He then managed a 1-1 draw in his ill-fated spell as Red Devils boss, against the Saints in the 2013-14 season.
Pochettino's Tottenham then came out on top in the 2016-17 season, with a 1-0 scoreline against Moyes' Sunderland side, before a 0-0 draw in the reverse fixture.
The following season, Spurs drew 1-1 with the Hammers - the last time the new United boss would meet him as the Lilywhites chief.
Pochettino's Chelsea lost 3-1 to the Irons in August 2023, before a 5-0 win in May 2024.
When will Everton play Pochettino's Man United?
The Toffees have already played the 20-time champions once this season, with Ainsley Maitland-Niles' last-gasp strike securing a 2-2 draw at home.
They will face them away from home on 13 March, 2027, unless the fixture is moved for television coverage.
Moyes will be hoping to frustrate Pochettino again, as he has already done several times.
Whether he can do that or not, may well depend on who United can bring in January to bolster their squad.
Jarrad Branthwaite was mentioned as a possible transfer option by United-mad talkSPORT host Andy Goldstein.
However, that is an unrealistic transfer, as he is contracted to the L3 outfit for the foreseeable future.
If Pochettino could get that level of player through the door, it could help him better Moyes when the sides meet.
