United sound out Pochettino to replace Solskjaer

The bad start in the Premier League and the latest defeat in the Champions League could take away Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. According to the 'Manchester Evening News', the Norwegian's post is hanging by a thread.

So much so that this local newspaper, one of the biggest in the city, assured that Manchester United are reportedly speaking with Mauricio Pochettino to replace Solskjaer.

Apparently, the Red Devils board have reportedly questioned the Argentine, free since he was sacked by Tottenham, about the possibility of taking on the role immediately.

The news would have been welcomed by the Argentine, who was already sounded out by United last season in Solskjaer's last major crisis on the bench at Old Trafford. Then the response was already positive and now he's going down the same route again.

The next match against Everton at Goodison Park seems key. A defeat could leave United on the brink of the relegation spots and then comes an international break, in which United could make this change on the bench so that Pochettino has time to work.
