The Argentine is said to be prepared to leave PSG due to dissatisfaction in the French capital.
The British newspaper points out that the former Tottenham manager lives in a hotel, while the rest of the family is still in London.
At the same time, he claims to be frustrated with leading a wardrobe characterized by individualists such as Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappé.

The online newspaper had a chat with Pochettino after PSG’s victory over Lille earlier this autumn. Hear what he had to say then:
Already in 2018, Pochettino was connected with the United job, but then Solskjær ended up replacing Jose Mourinho. In any case, United’s club tops will continue to be big admirers of the Argentine.
Sky Sports: – Pochettino is the first choice
Sky Sports reports that Pochettino is the club’s first choice to take over the manager’s chair from next season.
Former United player and current Sky Sports expert Gary Neville envisions that he is interested in taking over the club.
– I think Mauricio Pochettino – although he has never said that – would go to Manchester United on a five-year deal tomorrow, He will look at that group of players, he will look at that club and realize that he will probably be able to achieve more of what he wants in Man United, in terms of project, says Neville.

– In PSG, there is one season at a time, a kind of “you have to win the Champions League or you are out” model. I do not think it suits Pochettino, he continues.
What is certain is that Michael Carrick has taken over temporarily after Solskjær, and that he will in all probability lead United in the important Champions League match against Villareal on Tuesday.
Then time will tell who will be the club’s next manager on a permanent basis.
