PSG players know the situation – Pochettino speaks on leaving for Man Utd after City defeat

Paris Saint-Germain manager, Mauricio Pochettino, has said his players “know very well the situation”, as it concerns speculation linking him with the Manchester United job.

Pochettino is heavily tipped to replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Old Trafford.

It was amid these speculations he arrived in the blue half of Manchester, to face Pep Guardiola’s men in the Champions League group stage.

PSG lost 2-1 at the Etihad, despite taking the lead through Kylian Mbappe. Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus scored for City, to ensure they finish as group winners.

Pochettino has now denied the speculation over his future had unsettled the squad.

He said: “The players know very well the situation – we are living in a business in which rumours are there, sometimes negative, sometimes positive.

“That is what we say about the rumours.”
