Speculation surrounding Erik ten Hag's future at Manchester United continues to grow - with unconfirmed reports emerging on Wednesday that the Dutchman is likely to be sacked as Red Devils manager regardless of the result in the FA Cup final this Saturday.
And it is Mauricio Pochettino who is the favourite at 11/10 to succeed Ten Hag at Old Trafford should he be shown the door.
Pochettino was at the centre of a media storm earlier this week - with the Argentine leaving Chelsea by mutual consent despite guiding his side to sixth and securing European football with five straight victories to end the 2023-24 season.
Given his side's success late in the season - there are a number of clubs who are interested in acquiring the 52-year-old's services, with Man United reportedly being one of them.
Pochettino has been linked with a move to Old Trafford dating back to his time at Tottenham Hotspur, and he is believed to have some admirers amongst the power brokers at United.
