  • Premier League side Manchester United are said not to be interested in hiring PSG gaffer Pochettino as new coach
  • Current manager Ralf Rangnick is expected to leave Manchester United at the end of the ongoing season
  • Manchester United chiefs considered Pochettino's record in France and also the amount it will cost them to have him

Mauricio Pochettino is now reportedly on the verge of missing out in becoming the next coach of Manchester United as the Old Trafford chiefs are said to be considering hiring Ajax's Erik ten Hag.

Following the sacking of Ole Solskjaer at Manchester United, the club's chiefs brought Ralf Rangnick on interim capacity, but the coach has been unable to make any significant change at the club.

Manchester United have lost out this season in all competitions and their only target is to fight to make the top four in the Premier League which would also be difficult for them.

With the Premier League season gradually coming to an end, Manchester United chiefs are already in the search for another manager who will replace Ralf Rangnick.

Before Mauricio Pochettino even left the Premier League side Spurs, the Argentine was linked with a move to Man United, but the club did not hire him.

And according to the report on Express UK, Manchester United chiefs identified two reasons that won't make them hire Mauricio Pochettino as their coach.

What are the two reasons identified by Man United?

Pochettino’s record in France as manager of Paris Saint-Germain was a cause for concern.

Also, Manchester United were uneasy with paying the compensation fee that would have been owed to the Ligue 1 side Paris Saint-Germain.

It has already been sealed that Manchester United won't be winning any title this season as the race to win the Premier League crown is between Manchester City and Liverpool.

With eight games to end the ongoing Premier League season, Manchester United will have to double their effort if they want to finish among the top as they are currently occupying 7th on the table.

Manchester United are interested in Kalvin Phillips, Declan Rice and Jude Bellingham so as to bolster their midfield for next season.
