# Manchester United: Fans react to Mauricio Pochettino update

**Manchester United are close to finalising a move for Paris Saint-Germain manager Mauricio Pochettino.**

That’s according to French football journalist [Dominique Severac](https://canal-supporters.com/pour-severac-pochettino-a-manchester-united-ce-serait-quasiment-fait/), as relayed by [PSG Talk](https://psgtalk.com/2022/01/report-mauricio-pochettino-has-agreement-to-become-the-manager-of-manchester-united-next-season/). As to be expected, the update has resulted in a number of United fans reacting to the news on social media.

[Severac](https://canal-supporters.com/pour-severac-pochettino-a-manchester-united-ce-serait-quasiment-fait/) has suggested that Pochettino has agreed to take over at Old Trafford from next season, labelling a move as ‘almost done’.

Ralf Rangnick was brought in as [interim](https://www.manutd.com/en/news/detail/man-utd-official-statement-to-confirm-ralf-rangnick-appointment-as-interim-manager) boss until the end of the campaign back in November and will move into a [consultancy](https://www.manutd.com/en/news/detail/man-utd-official-statement-to-confirm-ralf-rangnick-appointment-as-interim-manager) role ahead of the 2022/23 campaign.

Pochettino, who named as United’s [top target](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11667/12474689/manchester-united-mauricio-pochettino-top-target-to-replace-ole-gunnar-solskjaer) following Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s sacking, now looks set to return to the Premier League, with the Red Devils seemingly closing in on their man.

The Argentine gleaned a [positive reputation](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/tottenham-mauricio-pochettino-best-thing-to-happen-english-national-team-generation-a3650401.html) from his stints at Southampton and Tottenham during his previous spell in England, although his [13-year](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mauricio-pochettino/stationen/trainer/9044) managerial career has yielded just [two domestic cups](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mauricio-pochettino/erfolge/trainer/9044).
