According to The Sun, the Red Devils will consider appointing Mauricio Pochettino should they decide to replace Erik ten Hag after the FA Cup final.
The Argentine departed Chelsea following an announcement from the club on Tuesday that he and the Blues decided to part ways by way of mutual consent, this after he helped guide the side to a strong finish in the Premier League.
For United, winning or losing the FA Cup final against Manchester City this weekend could determine their stance on Ten Hag, who has come under severe scrutiny in recent months.

The 52-year-old's reputation grew significantly during his five-year spell at Tottenham Hotspur between 2014 and 2019, after initially impressing at Southampton.
