Manchester United close the Deschamps case, Pochettino tipped

Manchester United has removed Didier Deschamps' name from its shortlist, confirming that the coaching position will not be given to him.

Since his last match with the French national team, the former manager of Les Bleus is on the market.

His name is regularly mentioned whenever a prestigious bench is about to become available.

Real Madrid and Juventus could represent possible options, as could Manchester United.

But for the Red Devils, the case is to be closed.

While Michael Carrick will eventually pay for his team's disastrous start to the season, currently in a relegation spot (18th), the Manchester executives will opt for another coach.

For Man Utd, it will be Pochettino.

Pochettino is mentioned among the favorites, alongside Eddie Howe and Julian Nagelsmann, and is expected to be the chosen one.

According to David Ornstein, Manchester United is finalising the arrival of the Argentine coach, current United States manager, who has been at Southampton, Tottenham and Chelsea.

The English press recently reported that Deschamps had been contacted by Manchester United to gauge his opinion.

The challenge would not have really excited him, and the Red Devils' executives quickly crossed his name off their shortlist.
