Man Utd encouraged as Pochettino upsets PSG management

PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino is edging closer to the exit door after upsetting management.

The Mirror says Pochettino has fallen out with the hierarchy at Paris Saint-Germain including over the high-profile summer transfer of Lionel Messi from Barcelona this summer.

Pochettino remains the favourite for the Manchester United job, as revealed last week, with the Old Trafford hierarchy confident of landing their man.

That revelation was later fleshed out by Mirror Football reporting that the Argentine was the preferred candidate among the players in United's dressing room.

The Argentine is open to leaving the French capital at the end of the campaign amid the admiration from United – with a summer appointment at Old Trafford increasingly feasible.

Despite being 16 points clear at the top of Ligue 1, all is not well in the French capital and PSG's ultras voiced their unhappiness with performances in Friday night's match.

Pochettino is said to be at odds with the PSG hierarchy – most notably sporting director Leonardo – and was unhappy when the club did not comply with his demands in the summer transfer market.
