USA defender Auston Trusty revealed the mindset Mauricio Pochettino has brought to the USMNT and Manchester United fans will like the sound of it.

Pochettino has been confirmed as the new manager of the Red Devils, but is finishing off his stint in charge of USA before travelling to Manchester.

On Saturday the Americans hammered Haiti 6-0 in Miami, before Pochettino’s last game at the helm against the same opponents in Cincinnati on Wednesday.

Celtic defender Trusty opened the scoring on Saturday and was full of praise for his outgoing Manchester.

The 28-year-old says the former Chelsea and Tottenham boss insists it is important for his team to keep pushing for more goals regardless of the scoreline, which is the kind of approach that will go down well at Old Trafford.

‘We play for him. Obviously, he’s our gaffer. Obviously, it’s sad that he’s moving on. So it’s a great opportunity that he is moving on into,’ Trusty told TNT Sports after the win over Haiti.

‘But we play for him. It’s his team, it’s his identity, and the mindset is to win every single game, every single match, and no matter the opponent, no matter how many goals you’re up, you keep fighting, you keep putting on the score and just do your thing, play your game.’

Monaco’s Folarin Balogun also scored on Saturday and feels Pochettino has left the US team in great shape.

‘The manager is an amazing guy, an amazing coach,’ said the former Arsenal striker.
