Pochettino willing to quit PSG immediately to make Man Utd move

PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino is prepared to quit the job IMMEDIATELY and move to Manchester United, it has been revealed.

The Daily Mail says Pochettino would be prepared to quit PSG and return to the Premier League after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was axed on Sunday.

United have put coach Michael Carrick in charge on a caretaker basis while they look to appoint an interim boss until the end of the season, suggesting that Solskjaer's permanent replacement may not be installed until the summer.

However, it's understood that Pochettino is prepared to leave PSG now because he is unhappy in the French capital.

The former Tottenham boss is living in a hotel while his family remain in London, and is said to be frustrated at managing a dressing-room with big egos like Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe.

The 49-year-old Argentine will be in town on Tuesday ahead of PSG's clash with Manchester City in the Champions League on Wednesday, although it's understood that United had still not made contact with him on Sunday night.
