Manchester United have seemingly been cleared to appoint Mauricio Pochettino as their new manager this summer – but only if they allow a big-name star to depart for the French capital in return.

Reports this week say Pochettino has reportedly ‘had enough’ of life in Paris. They claim he feels he has been forced to work in highly-testing conditions and feels the constant criticism of his management is wholly unfair.

Now, reports linking Pochettino to United appear to be growing louder by the day. Indeed, the Daily Mirror claims PSG are open to the deal taking place. However, in lieu of compensation, they would like to take Cristiano Ronaldo to Paris.

The paper claims Ronaldo is open to leaving Old Trafford this summer. And despite having a contract until 2023, the Portuguese superstar is reportedly ‘frustrated with life’ back in Manchester.

Despite having scored 14 goals in his second spell with the Red Devils, matters on the pitch have not gone smoothly.

They are battling Tottenham, Arsenal and West Ham to finish fourth. Furthermore, the Champions League remains United’s last hope of silverware after bowing out of the FA Cup to Middlebsrough. That though in itself looks a long shot given United’s current form.

As such, the Mirror claims a move to Paris looks to be on the cards.
