AS Monaco sporting director Paul Mitchell was spotted sitting with Manchester United caretaker manager Ralf Rangnick at last night's FA Youth Cup tie between United and Leicester City.

It is unclear why the pair were together this Thursday, but the sight of Mitchell in Manchester and sitting alongside Rangnick has sparked speculation regarding PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino.

Mitchell worked with Pochettino at Tottenham and they could be reunited at Old Trafford, says the Mirror.

However, there is also the prospect of United speaking with Mitchell about two of Monaco's young players, Aurelien Tchouameni and Benoit Badiashile, both of whom have been linked with the English giants this season.

United defeated Leicester 2-1 last night to reach the FA Youth Cup semifinals.
