Manchester United have been handed their first knockback in pursuit of Mauricio Pochettino after Paris Saint-Germain reportedly rejected an approach for their manager.
Pochettino is United's top target to replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who was sacked as manager following a damning 4-1 defeat to Watford over the weekend.
United expressed in their statement following the sacking that an interim coach would take the team until the end of the 2021-22 season before a permanent successor would take over.
