Manchester United players are asking club executives to bring current PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino to the helm of the Old Trafford bench. According to Express reports, some of the most important figures on the board of United have started to build a strategy for this goal, as they also like the idea of the Argentine at the helm of the "Red Devils".
But interim coach Ralf Rangnick is a fan of Ajax's Erik Ten Hag. The German's opinion will be quite weighty in recruiting the future United coach, but the board has been careful to listen to the players as well.
The new CEO, Richard Arnold, who replaced Ed woodward last month, is aware that the English need to move fast if they want to bring a weighty name to the top of the Old Trafford bench. And Pochettino, who is under pressure from PSG, has made it clear that he likes the idea of returning to the Premier League.
PSG and Pochettino will face a rather difficult challenge in Champions League next week, as the draw put them in front of the Real Madrid Spaniards. Many things will depend on the performance of the Parisians in the Champions League, as this is the only trophy that President Nasser Al-Khelaifi has sought from any coach who has been in charge of PSG in recent years. If the French fail again in the elite competition Pochettino's departure seems inevitable, whether or not United make a move for him.
Ten Hag also remains one of the main alternatives for the English bench, as Rangnick is a fan of the Dutch technician. Ajax are on track to win their third league title under coach, and Ten Hag seems ready for his next adventure.
