‘Clearly it’s one to watch’: Ornstein addresses United’s links with Pochettino, who has a ‘relationship’ with INEOS

Chelsea confirmed on Tuesday evening that they had mutually agreed to part ways with Mauricio Pochettino after just one season.

Of course, speculation immediately began over Manchester United’s potential pursuit of the Argentine manager, whom they have been linked with countless times in recent years.

It comes amid a period of uncertainty for the Old Trafford faithful and Erik ten Hag, with the boss widely reported to be on somewhat borrowed time since Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s minority stake was ratified back in February.

Since then, Ten Hag has overseen United’s lowest-ever Premier League finish in eighth place, but he does have the to chance claim silverware for a second successive season with this Saturday’s FA Cup final.

Should United reign victorious against current holders and fierce rivals Manchester City, it would also book them a spot in next term’s Europa League.

Until then, though, fans are left to deal with contrasting reports over the future of the Dutchman. Some suggest that he’ll be given another season to showcase his abilities while others claim he’ll be relieved of his duties irrespective of how the side fare in the final.

Poch’s abrupt exit reignites Old Trafford links

The ever-reliable David Ornstein touched on the Red Devils’ links with now-available Pochettino, telling Sky Sports News last night: “I think Manchester United have been heavily linked with him for some time before Ten Hag.

“He [Pochettino] met with INEOS about the Nice job, too, so there’s a relationship there. And I’m sure that now he’s available, he will be in the thinking of clubs like Manchester United, and I’m sure that given their background, a club like United will hold some appeal to him.”

“I’m not suggesting that it’s going to happen,” he continued. “We have to wait and see what happens on [with] Erik ten Hag, of course. But clearly, it’s one to watch. It’s inevitably one you’ve got to watch.”
