Mauricio Pochettino will be one of the two names ticked by Manchester United to take over from Ralf Rangnick at Manchester United.
At least that's what
Le Parisien
said on Wednesday.
Not always praised in France, the Argentine technician would like to return to England, to Manchester, where he would benefit from a much better rating than in France, after two successes on the bench at Southampton, then Tottenham (including a Champions League final with the Spurs, historic first).

According to
the Parisian
, the PSG coach had already signaled to Manchester United that he was eager to join the Red Devils last November, when Solskjaer was ousted, but the shooting window, far too short and delicate to allow such a movement, to probably calm the negotiations. Since then, Manchester United and Pochettino have remained in contact. The Red Devils have even checked the name of the current coach of PSG as one of the two priorities to take over from Rangnick, who will give up his managerial seat at the end of the season. Indeed, Pochettino would share the favors of "MU" with Erik ten Hag, who has made Ajax Amsterdam happy since 2017. If Pochettino remains the "darling" across the Channel after his exploits in England, the fight will be tough with Ten Hag,who remains a sacred client (and the favorite of Ralf Rangnick).
For its part, PSG is preparing for all eventualities.
According to the Parisian, the capital club still dreams of Zinédine Zidane to take the head of the incredible locker room of PSG in the event of Pochettino's departure next summer.
With mixed performances, despite the good results, a departure from Pochettino in the summer of 2022 cannot be ruled out.
Especially when we know the impatience that the leaders of PSG can show with their coaches.
Case to follow.
