Man Utd told not to sign Pochettino except …

Manchester United have been advised not to sign Paris Saint Germain coach Mauricio Pochettino because the players want him.

This is according to Gary Neville, who advised the Red Devils only to sign the Argentina international if the board wants him.

A few days ago, the reports went viral that the players in the current squad want Pochettino, who has worked in the Premier League before with Southampton and Tottenham Hotspur.

But Neville said on his podcast: “If Pochettino is the choice of the board then they should appoint him, but they shouldn’t appoint him based on the players wanting him.

“I’d hate to think for one second that they were listening to the players in the dressing room.

“They’ve got big PR machines and big social media machines and their agents are active. They have been for a good few months and I’ve not liked it for a few months. At the moment, they’re all looking after one another, thinking who they want next.

“All that nonsense is happening behind the scenes at Manchester United.”
