Pochettino, Howe, Emery... or Carrick? Man Utd's managerial options

Major trophies won: 1 Ligue 1, 1 French Cup

Premier League record: P294, W150; Win percentage: 51; Points per game ratio (PPG): 1.77

Did you know: Pochettino averaged 1.89 points per game during his spell at Tottenham, the best ratio of any Spurs manager to have taken charge of 25 or more Premier League games.

United's long-standing interest in the Argentine, 54, dates back a decade.

At Spurs, he moulded their best team in a generation, but ultimately came up short of winning a trophy, losing both the Champions League and League Cup finals, and posted second and third-placed finishes. Silverware did come at Paris St-Germain with a league title, but a spell at Chelsea proved tougher with a League Cup final defeat by Liverpool in 2024.
