- United consider sacking Ten Hag
- Pochettino emerges as candidate
- Ratcliffe ready to open talks
WHAT HAPPENED?
Pochettino left Chelsea by mutual consent on Tuesday after just one season in charge of the London club and The Sun reports the Argentine has been highlighted by Sir Jim Ratcliffe as a potential candidate to take over at Old Trafford this summer. The INEOS chairman is said to be ready to initiate formal talks with the Argentine, who has also managed Tottenham in the Premier League.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
United are reportedly considering firing Ten Hag after United’s disappointing Premier League campaign. The Red Devils finished eighth in the table but can still end the season with a trophy as they take on Manchester City in the FA Cup final on Saturday. However, Ten Hag is expected to be let go regardless of the result.
DID YOU KNOW?
Pochettino has been linked with United several times in recent years. The former Tottenham and Paris Saint-Germain head coach was in the frame to take over at Old Trafford two years ago, but the club opted to appoint Ten Hag instead.
WHAT NEXT FOR UNITED?
United will attempt to upset English champions City when they meet at Wembley in the cup final this week. Afterwards, fans will await news regarding Ten Hag’s position, with the Dutch coach insisting he can turn the situation around.
