Paul Merson tells Man United to hire Rodgers and not Pochettino

Paul Merson says he cannot understand why Manchester United want to hire Mauricio Pochettino this summer and has urged the Red Devils to pursue Brendan Rodgers instead.

Pochettino is thought to be a leading contender to take over at Old Trafford this summer when the Red Devils announce the long-term successor to the sacked Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Ralf Rangnick arrived at the club in November as interim boss to steady the ship while club chiefs pursue a new full-time boss to take over at the end of the current campaign.
