Former Liverpool and England midfielder Steve McManaman believes Mauricio Pochettino would suit Manchester United "down to the ground" - but has warned that he could use Old Trafford as a stepping stone en route to Real Madrid.
The Paris Saint-Germain head coach, along with Ajax chief Erik ten Hag, has been installed as one of the frontrunners to become United's next permanent manager and replace Ralf Rangnick ahead of next season. Pochettino was identified by United as a suitable candidate several months ago and attempted to lure him back to England in November.
However, United saw their efforts to poach the Argentine knocked back by PSG. Nevertheless, he has remained a firm target ahead of the club making a decision in the coming months.
