Following his sacking as Chelsea manager on Tuesday, Mauricio Pochettino could make an immediate return to the Premier League.
The Argentine coach was at Stamford Bridge for just one season, but it was an unforgettable experience.
He was criticized for Chelsea’s sixth-place league result, and the team’s performance remained patchy throughout the season.
According to The Sun as claimed by Caught Offside, Manchester United are planning a move for the former Tottenham manager.
Pochettino is expected to succeed Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United at the moment, if the Dutchman is shown the door at Old Trafford.
There will be no shortage of offers for the 52-year-old, as many clubs are searching for a new gaffer this summer.
After successful stints at Tottenham and Paris Saint-Germain, he continues to be revered in the football world. Even though things have not gone too well for him at Chelsea.
United finished in eighth place in the league, which is their lowest finish ever in the competition, so Ten Hag’s future there is still in doubt.
The Red Devils still have a chance to win a trophy at the end of the season if they defeat Manchester City in the FA Cup final.
Ten Hag’s job in the team might not be saved despite this, as Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the new co-owner of Man United, plans to implement significant changes this summer.

Pochettino has previously been linked to the Man United position.
Pochettino was one of the front-runners for the position in 2022 but he ultimately lost out when the Premier League giants hired Ten Hag from Ajax.
