The international break tends to result in a lack of any meaningful football news so it’s pretty common to see small things being blown out of proportion.
There’s a lot of talk that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could be on his way out of Old Trafford if his team don’t beat Newcastle tomorrow, but that would only make sense if they have a top class option who’s ready to take over.
A recent report from Talksport indicated that former Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino was being lined up as a potential successor, so his every move is going to be monitored every time United fail to win.

In a seemingly unrelated report from The Daily Record it’s suggested that the man behind Lille’s incredible transfer dealings Luis Campos has asked to leave the French club, and Man United have been looking to bring him in recently.
