Mauricio Pochettino could poach two of his former Chelsea players if he is appointed Manchester United manager.

The 2023-24 season has only just come to an end, but already the managerial merry-go-round is already up and running.

Several high profile managers across Europe have left their positions, making the summer transfer window and next season even more interesting.

One of those coaches is Mauricio Pochettino, who left Chelsea last week after just one season at Stamford Bridge.

The Argentine coach left Chelsea by mutual consent one year into a two-year contract after overseeing a trophyless campaign and a sixth place finish in the Premier League.

There have been reports that Pochettino could replace Erik ten Hag as Manchester United boss.

Ten Hag's position has looked increasingly precarious in recent months and his case wasn't helped by United finishing eighth in the Premier League.

However, club bosses could take United's 2-1 win in the FA Cup final - which secured a place in the Europa League - into consideration when deciding Ten Hag's future.

Should INEOS and the Glazers decide to sack Ten Hag, then Pochettino will be one of the top candidates to replace him.

In that event, journalist Pete O'Rourke has claimed that Pochettino will look top sign midfielder Conor Gallagher and defender Trevoh Chalobah from his former employers as he views them as key players.

United have lacked steeliness in midfield this season, with Casemiro appearing to decline physically after an impressive first season at Old Trafford.

Gallagher could address that issue, just as Chalobah will add depth and quality in defence. United have been plagued by defensive injuries this season, while Raphael Varane will leave the club when his contract expires next month.

Chalobah missed the first half of the season with a thigh injury, but featured in 13 of the 14 matches he was available for.

Gallagher has been an ever-present fixture in midfield this term, but there have been plenty of reports linking him with a move away from Stamford Bridge.
