  • Man United's squad is expected to undergo significant changes in the summer once a permanent manager is appointed
  • While it remains unclear who will take over from Rangnick, Pochettino has already emerged as a strong favourite for the role
  • The Argentine tactician has been backed to bring in a number of new faces once he takes over including Harry Kane and Declan Rice

Man United are set for a massive summer shake-up and could parade a much-changed team from the current squad.

Interim boss Ralf Rangnick is expected to pave way for a new permanent manager at the end of the season, with Paris Saint-Germain manager Mauricio Pochettino believed to be in a pole position to take over.

According to The Sun, Pochettino is expected to put his stamp on a United side currently struggling for form across competitions.

Who could Poch move for?

The Telegraph reports the Argentine could push for the signing of old favourite and Tottenham striker Harry Kane.

However, such a move will see Cristiano Ronaldo, who has been backed to depart Old Trafford in the summer drop to the bench.

The PSG boss could also welcome Brazilian wonderkid, Antony, who is currently tearing it up in the Netherlands within his ranks.

In the midfield, the Red Devils could welcome long-term target Declan Rice and Leeds versatile midfielder, Kalvin Philips.

How Man United could line up with the new signings

While United will be much-changed with the new signings, there are a number of current squad members who will keep their places.

David de Gea will undoubtedly keep his place between the sticks, with Victor Lindelof partnering with Raphael Varane in the heart of defence.

Poch would then be expected to get the best out of Luke Shaw on the left flank having worked together at Southampton, with Diogo Dalot keeping his place on the right.

Rice and Phillips will take charge in the middle of the park, allowing Bruno Fernandes to excel in his favourite No.10 position.

In attack, Marcus Rashford will have to pave way for Jadon Sancho on the left-wing, with Antony walking straight into the starting XI on the right flank as Kane leads the goal hunt.
