Manchester United managerial candidate Mauricio Pochettino has suffered a torrid run of form lately and reports suggest it could cost Paris Saint-Germain £17million to sack the Argentine and his staff.

United have been searching for a permanent head coach since the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in November. The former Tottenham boss has been heavily linked with the post, as he was prior to taking on the role in the French capital.

Since their shock Champions League last-16 exit to Real Madrid, Pochettino and his side have been under immense scrutiny. Criticism intensified after Sunday's dismal 3-0 defeat to Monaco, though his side still hold a strong lead at the top of Ligue 1.
