Manchester United players reportedly expect Paris Saint-Germain coach Mauricio Pochettino to take over as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's successor next year.

The Manchester United squad reportedly expect Mauricio Pochettino to take over as the club's new manager.

Following the departure of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, United are working to find a long-term successor to take the reins from the 2022-23 season while searching for an interim coach for the remainder of this campaign.

Michael Carrick has been placed in charge for the time being, but Paris Saint-Germain coach Pochettino has emerged as one of the favourites for the Old Trafford hotseat.

The Argentine affirmed that he is happy in the French capital during a recent press conference, but The Mirror claims that United players are expecting him to succeed Solskjaer.

The report claims that Pochettino is the 'talk of the dressing room' at United, and the Red Devils are supposedly willing to wait until the summer to try to prise him away from PSG.

Carrick named both Anthony Martial and Donny van de Beek in his squad for his first game in temporary charge against Villarreal, with Bruno Fernandes on the bench.
