An insight into Mauricio Pochettino’s transfer plans for if he ever takes over at Manchester United has been provided on Friday.
Manchester United’s links to the Argentine have re-emerged of late and Pochettino himself was recently quizzed on United’s interest and the possibility of former Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane replacing him at PSG, to which the South American had this to say:
“I don’t know, it’s not up to me to decide,” he told Cadena Ser.
“Zidane is a great coach, he already showed it at Real Madrid. He can train anywhere in the world. In addition to this, he’s French. That is one more question for the sporting director or the president.”
Now, according to the Telegraph, United are beginning to step up their search for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s long-term replacement following the departure of Ed Woodward.
And whilst Pochettino is not the only candidate under consideration, he has already become the preferred choice among a growing number of United players.
They add that Pochettino is expected to push for Manchester United to try and sign Harry Kane should he become their next manager:

Harry Kane returning to his best
Harry Kane himself has finally turned a corner after being in awful form at the start of 2021/22.
The Englishman is playing well under Antonio Conte and has now scored four and assisted one in his last seven league games, as well as scoring a brace vs Brighton in the FA Cup recently.
Tottenham are now set to face Wolves this weekend. Can Harry Kane continue his fine goalscoring form?
