POCH MUST GO NOW... THE PSG FRONT 3 MAKE IT AN IMPOSSIBLE JOB

EUROPEAN success for the last two managers to leave Paris Saint-germain is a statement in itself.

Unai Emery went on to lift the Europa League with an inferior line-up of Villarreal players. Thomas Tuchel went on to win the

Champions League with a talented

Chelsea team.

Both had an XI who were prepared to put in a shift.

Pochettino has seen enough from his egotistical front three of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe to know he cannot get the PSG team playing – on and off the ball – against the big sides in the way he needs them to. With

Manchester United waiting to provide a soft landing, you can see why the former Spurs boss is letting it be known he is ready to answer their call. Anyone who saw the way that Pochettino made Southampton and Spurs two of the toughest teams to beat in the Premier League will know he knows how to organise a team that wants to work. The former Spurs boss turned Tottenham’s defence into the best in the country two seasons running, then took them to the 2019 Champions League final. With the talent available at United, Cristiano Ronaldo included, you could see him joining Emery and Tuchel in succeeding away from that toxic PSG dressing room.

Jamie Carragher and Thierry Henry, on TV duty for CBS Sports, articulated the trouble with PSG laid bare for all to see in Wednesday’s defeat at Manchester City.

“Pochettino has got to get out of that club,” said Carragher. ”If he’s got the chance to go to

Manchester United I’d be gone tomorrow.

“It’s because of those three stars – Messi,

Mbappe and Neymar.”

Henry weighed in: “If you want to win the

Champions League, you cannot defend with seven players. Impossible.

Everyone that left PSG went on to win in Europe – Emery and Tuchel.”
