The name Mauricio Pochettino has been connected with the management of Manchester United for several seasons, dating back even further than his spell as manager of the Parc des Princes.

Unfortunately for the Argentinian, United had previously chosen to continue with former manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Paris Saint-Germain was in need of a replacement for former head coach Thomas Tuchel.

Pochettino has now been given another chance to return to the Premier League after a successful season with Tottenham Hotspur.

As a result of their dismal Champions League performance, which saw them eliminated in the first round of the knockout stage by Real Madrid, Manchester United are in desperate need of a long-term replacement for interim manager Ralf Rangnick, while Paris Saint-Germain are expected to look for a new manager at the end of this season following their Ligue 1 giants' dismal Champions League performance that saw them eliminated in the first round of the knockout stage against Real Madrid.

Following his team's European exit earlier this year, Pochettino told reporters regarding his future in France, according to Fan Nation. "The present is all I can deal with," he continued. What will be will be, regardless of what happens in the future.

To win, we play for the sheer joy of it. Being eliminated from the Champions League is a difficult blow to swallow, but we must maintain our composure in the meantime."

For the Glazer family to agree to pay a substantial compensation package to bring in the former Tottenham manager, United must be serious about their interest in doing so.

Mauricio Pochettino is caught between PSG and Manchester United in a transfer battle.

Those are the words of a recent report from ESPN, which indicates that Paris Saint-Germain are in a difficult position when it comes to the thought of allowing Pochettino to leave the club.

PSG is likely to demand payment from Manchester United in exchange for the pleasure of releasing Pochettino from his contract ahead of schedule in order to recuperate a significant sum of money from the club.

The Argentine's current employer will need to give United permission to interview him, and if the French side grants that wish, United will very certainly renounce their right to recompense.

If Pochettino fails in his bid to become Manchester United's new manager, he could be relieved of his duties at the end of the season. However, with the Red Devils continuing to pursue alternative candidates, including Ajax's Erik ten Hag, there are no guarantees that Pochettino will still be employed by the club come the start of next season.
