Manchester United’s choice to pick Erik ten Hag as their next manager has taken PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino by surprise
Erik ten Hag’s contract is contingent on obtaining a work visa, however it has the possibility to extend for an additional year based on performance.
With a squad in urgent need of a rebuild, the Erik Ten Hag will be faced with picking up the pieces at Old Trafford. It will also be up to the Glazer family and Richard Arnold to provide the manager and his team with whatever they require to succeed.
Pochettino has been competing with Ajax coach Erik ten Hag for the post.
According to the sources, Pochettino seemed to have been taken aback by the fact that Ten Hag had emerged as the favourite.
The Argentine is believed to have been ‘properly accumulating’ information on Manchester as a city, United’s structure, and team profiles.
However, at ‘no stage’ did United make direct contact with Paris Saint-Germain to discuss terminating his contract.
Before the announcement, the Red Devils had planned to tell Pochettino personally of their choice to choose Ten Hag.
