Breaking news: Fabrizio Romano mentioned 6 Manchester United players who want Pochettino at Manchester United and want to get Ralf Ragnick sacked as soon as possible.
Multiple players in Manchester United's
squad reportedly expect current Paris Saint-
Germain (PSG) boss Mauricio Pochettino
to arrive in the summer.
The Red Devils have not fared as
expected in the early days of the Ralf
Rangnick era. Rangnick, who was appointed
as the interim boss until the end of the
season, has overseen just three wins from
six matches in charge of Manchester United.
According to The Sun, a number of Manchester
United stars feel certain senior team-mates
have too much sway with the German tactician
on big decisions. Sources close to the club
have also reportedly revealed that the set-
up within the club is a "shambles." The
source was quoted as saying:
“The players have their own
cliques, one of which is making
the others feel like they need to
step up a level when it is the whole
team that’s struggling. The players
are demoralised. This is deja vu
of the previous years when things
went wrong.”
The source added:
“The fans probably think the players
are not fit enough to put Rangnick’s
plans into action. That is so untrue
. Certain players have just lost that
knack and desire. Plus, there is a
belief within one section of the
squad that some players get selected
, regardless of their displays. So
everything is a complete shambles.”
Consequently, the players reportedly
expect PSG boss Pochettino to take over
once Rangnick's interim period comes to an
end. The Argentine tactician has made it clear
in the past that managing Manchester United
is on his bucket list and could be open to
taking up the opportunity.
Mauricio Pochettino's troubled PSG
reign a major factor amid Manchester
United links
Pochettino joined PSG in January 2021,
having been relieved off his duties by
Tottenham Hotspur in November 2019.
The 49-year-old struggled in the second half
of the 2020-21 campaign as the Parisians
lost the Ligue 1 title to LOSC Lille.
Pochettino did get his hands on silverware
for the first time, however, winning the French
Cup and the French Super Cup. PSG were
then expected to take back the Ligue 1 title
and also mount a serious UEFA Champions
League challenge this season following
some fantastic transfer business.
The French giants signed the likes of Lionel
Messi, Sergio Ramos and Achraf Hakimi
last summer and have been the runaway leaders
in Ligue 1. However, PSG struggled in
the Champions League group stages,
finishing second behind Manchester City.
Pochettino has also received criticism
for his inability to make the trio of Messi,
Neymar Jr. and Kylian Mbappe work together
for the team's cause. Despite the club's
incredible 13-point lead in the league, they
have received plenty of criticism for their
inability to kill games off.
All of this has contributed to the Argentine
constantly being linked with a move away
from PSG. Manchester United were reportedly
interested in bringing in Pochettino
when they sacked Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
earlier this season. However, that didn't
materialize and they went on to appoint
Rangnick.
