Mauricio Pochettino is currently managing Paris Saint-Germain but has come under intense criticism for not getting the best out of their star-studded squad.

Pochettino made his name by making Tottenham Hotspur a title-challenging team with a very limited budget. He plays an attacking brand of football, focussing on high pressing, inspired by Marcelo Bielsa.

His brand of football will sync well with the Manchester United crowd and Ralf Rangnick. While his football was attractive, he never won a trophy with Spurs.

Pochettino is rumored to be leaving PSG in the summer. He was one of the favorites to take over the managerial role at Manchester United when Solskjaer was sacked. It has also been reported that the United players want to work under Pochettino.

As good a manager as the Argentine is, he never really mounted a proper title challenge with Spurs. He has had issues managing the big names and egos at PSG (similar to the Red Devils). His skills at handling big personalities and failure to land the big trophies will be under scrutiny from the United board.
