Manchester United is looking to shake the Premier League with a reported eye on former Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino. The Argentine manager shocked the soccer world by walking away from his position as Chelsea boss by mutual consent.
According to reports, Mauricio Pochettino did not see eye to eye with Chelsea owner Todd Boehly on the future of the club. Despite leaving, Pochettino is reportedly on good terms with the Chelsea brass.
Those good terms may not last long, as The Sun is reporting that part-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe doesn’t see a future for Ten Hag and Pochettino could jump in to take his place.
