Manchester United fans demand Pochettino as clamor against Solskjaer grows
Manchester United fans are keen for Mauricio Pochettino to replace Ole Gunnar Solskajer after our latest setback in another big game.
United fell to a 3-2 defeat in Leipzig that consigned the club to the remainder of the season in the Europa League. It represents a bitter blow especially after the excellent start we made to the competition.
The Red Devils won three of their firstfour games, meaning they needed just one point from the last two to ensure qualification to the last sixteen.
We managed to lose both, managing to put in abject back to back performances to receive our just desserts. Questionable tactical decisions in both games will have to be called into question as Solskjaer falls short once again.
With his position now being called into question, one name on many fans’ lips is Mauricio Pochettino. The former Tottenham Hotspur manager is currently without a club and has been linked with us in recent months.
A proven tactician in the Premier League, the Argentine is a pragmatic option who knows how to get the best out of the players at his disposal.
With the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona also enjoying poor seasons, it remains to be seen if we will act quick enough to beat them to Pochettino if we decide to go for him at all.
We take a look at how fans reacted to the news on Twitter.

I’ve already said my thank you and goodbyes to Ole, a few weeks ago. I’m grateful but now I’m just numb to the point I want Pochettino asap.

Pochettino is obv the right choice. He desperately wants the job and to succeed here. Simeone is Atletico’s and Conte is not what we need. Poch is the man 👍 https://t.co/CSEWvbLGqd

Oh what a good news. Give us #Pochettino please
Manchester United need a cleanse. Ole has to be sacked & pochettino brought in. The contract negotiator has to be sacked for having average players on crazy salaries. Transfer negotiator must also be sacked for gross negligence on almost every deal. Failure from top to bottom
