REPORT: Man Utd Target Pochettino After Spurs Rout
Manchester United's drubbing at the hands of Tottenham has led to talk of Mauricio Pochettino taking over at Old Trafford.
Former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is a strong favorite to take over at Manchester United.
The Mirror report that United have made contact with the Argentine following the club's humiliating 6-1 home defeat at the hands of Spurs on Sunday.
Pochettino was strongly linked with United after Jose Mourinho was sacked in December 2018, but he remained in London before, ironically, being replaced by Mourinho last November.
The 48-year-old has been waiting for the right opportunity to resume his managerial career following his dismissal last November, and that could be at United if Solskjaer loses his job.
The Red Devils had a busy transfer deadline day, completing deals for Edinson Cavani, Alex Telles, Facundo Pellistri and Amad Diallo before the window closed on Monday.
