Manchester United and Real Madrid are ready to go head to head for Mauricio Pochetino

Not having a long term serving coach at their disposal for the first team, both Manchester United and Real Madrid are ready to battle it out for the Argentine.

Pochettino who was the former coach of Totteham Hotspur before he was succeeded by Jose Mourinho, his the current coach of the Ligue 1 giant Paris Saint Germain.

Real Madrid want to compete for the Champions League every season and it has been a matter that has seen a number of coaches sacked, despite great domestic form.

This could be the same fate for Ancelotti, who has led Los Blancos to the top of the LaLiga Santander table as it stands, as well as Supercopa de Espana glory at the start of 2022.

After falling a goal behind in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie against PSG, Real Madrid are still in with a shout of lifting Europe’s most prized trophy, but should they fail to deliver then it could be Ancelotti that moves on.

Manchester United have not hidden the fact that they wish to replace interim boss with Pochettino, but they may have to look to Ajax’s Erik ten Hag should Real Madrid pinch the PSG coach from under their nose.
