Manchester United are reportedly conducting due diligence on Mauricio Pochettino as a candidate to become the club's next permanent manager, according to an Associated Press report by James Robson published Wednesday.
The Argentine coach, who previously managed Tottenham Hotspur, Paris Saint-Germain, and Chelsea, has been linked with the Old Trafford position as the club evaluates its leadership options. The due diligence process suggests United are seriously assessing Pochettino's suitability for the role.
Pochettino, 52, has been out of management since leaving Chelsea at the end of the 2023-24 season. His previous experience in the Premier League with Tottenham, where he led the club to the 2019 Champions League final, makes him a familiar figure in English football.
Manchester United have been seeking stability in the managerial position following a period of transition. The club's hierarchy appears to be taking a methodical approach to the appointment, with background checks and evaluations forming part of their decision-making process.
