Man Utd: ‘It’s maybe time’ to get Pochettino says Leboeuf
Manchester United fans have been warned that they will miss out on hiring Mauricio Pochettino if they don’t act quickly and fire Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. The ex-Tottenham manager is reportedly waiting in the wings in case the Red Devils end the Norwegian’s tenure.

Pochettino, who was previously wanted by United, and ex-Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri, are both believed to be waiting to see what happens with the Norwegian.
However, ex-Chelsea player Craig Burley warned that Pochettino might not be able to immediately correct the errors made by the United hierarchy, and that they could face missing out on the Argentine.
Barcelona are believed to be close to firing Ernesto Valverde, and Pochettino has long been linked with the role at the Nou Camp.
And Burley explained on ESPN FC that they need to act fast and make the change before they lose out on the Argentine.

“It’s up to United if they want to sit on their hands and wait, if Pochettino is someone they’re thinking about, he might go somewhere else if nothing happens.
“[Ernesto] Valverde is under pressure at the moment, I know he’s said he won’t manage them because of his ties to Espanyol, but things can change.
“United have some big decisions to make, it’s crystal clear to me and I think even to Solskjaer’s loyalest fans in the media - most ex-teammates - nobody thinks he’s the man for the job.”
