Gary Neville explains why Erik ten Hag beat Mauricio Pochettino to Man Utd job

Gary Neville believes Paris Saint-Germain 's underperformance in the Champions League is one of the many reasons why Mauricio Pochettino did not get the Manchester United job.

The Red Devils have confirmed Erik ten Hag as their next permanent manager on a three-year contract, starting at the end of the current season. He will become the club's fifth permanent boss since the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson in May 2013.

Ten Hag's biggest rival for the United job was Pochettino, who is in charge of PSG. The French giants need just one point from their last five games to be crown champions of Ligue 1, which will be the manager's third trophy since his appointment in January 2021.
