Manchester United’s players are in favour of Mauricio Pochettino taking over as manager at the end of the season.
Ajax boss Erik ten Hag is Pochettino’s main rival for the job when interim manager Ralf Rangnick steps down and moves into a consultancy role in May.
However, the majority of the United squad would prefer Pochettino, who has expressed a willingness to quit Paris Saint-Germain and return to English football at Old Trafford.
He led Tottenham to the 2019 Champions League final after a memorable win over Ten Hag’s Ajax in the last four.
