The 53-year-old Argentine is admired by the Red Devils due to his extensive experience managing teams in the English Premier League. Pochettino previously led both Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea, famously guiding Spurs to the 2019 Champions League final.

After four rounds, Manchester United have picked up just 4 points, sitting 14th in the league table, and have already been knocked out of the EFL Cup by Grimsby, losing to the lower-league side on penalties.
