Al-Ittihad are reportedly targeting Mauricio Pochettino as one of their top priorities to replace Marcelo Gallardo, while the manager is said to be having a strong interest to join the Saudi Professional League, but Manchester United could advance The Black and Yellows on this operation.

The Italian transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has now provided the latest update on the situation of Pochettino:

Mauricio Pochettino is another coach who doesn’t feel he needs to take some time before the next step. He wants to return as soon as possible. So I’m sure in case Manchester United decided to go for him, he would be more than ready to restart and to be back in the business immediately. But again, at the moment, the priority for Manchester United is to decide on Erik ten Hag, inform Ten Hag, and then eventually to go for another coach.” he said (via GiveMeSport).
