Man Utd make Mauricio Pochettino approach to replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as manager

Manchester United have approached Mauricio Pochettino with a view to him replacing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as manager at Old Trafford. The former Tottenham boss is believed to be keen on the role and has been sounded out over the job.

United officials have made contact with Pochettino’s representatives amid the poor run of form under Solskjaer.

The former Tottenham manager has been linked with the Old Trafford job ever since he left the club.

The Manchester Evening News claim insiders have been privately backing Solskjaer but a defeat to Everton on Saturday could see United drop to 17th in the table.

That could force a decision with Pochettino available and interested in taking the job.
