Manchester United will need a new coach next season because Ralf Rangnick is only expected to be the interim manager until the end of this campaign.
Mauricio Pochettino is regularly named as a potential candidate and earlier today, L’Equipe explained the Red Devils’ ‘interest has returned to his ears’.
However, the 49-year-old remains focused on the Paris Saint-Germain job with ‘utmost seriousness’, despite his side’s elimination from the Coupe de France after the latest defeat against OGC Nice.
The Ligue 1 side’s operation doesn’t please the Argentine, and his relationship with PSG sporting director Leonardo is also not great.
Recent reports have indicated Les Parisiens leaders tried to find a successor for the coach in recent weeks. Pochettino, for his part, ‘did not hesitate to keep links with England’, and was ready to return to the Premier League last summer to rejoin Spurs.
It’s claimed United made contact with the South American last November and the coach was ‘even ready to join’ the Manchester club in January.
Pochettino is clearly not happy with his life in Paris and has informed his entourage that he doesn’t see himself staying at PSG beyond the current campaign.
