Journalist Gianluca Di Marzio believes Manchester United will try to hire Mauricio Pochettino if Kieran McKenna is promoted at Stamford Bridge.

The Argentine left Chelsea after one rough season and had previously been linked with United at various points in his career.

Di Marzio expects United to be looking for a new manager because he believes Erik ten Hag will be fired.

Di Marzio told Soccernews.nl that if McKenna does not sign with Chelsea, he might be one of Manchester United’s top possibilities.

“If McKenna joins Chelsea, United will pursue Pochettino. However, Manchester United will split from Ten Hag at the end of the season.
